Assessing these synergies in a way that provides rigorous but practical guidance for conservation interventions (e.g., zoning, payments for ecosystem services) requires several key steps. First, ecosystem service provision by areas of conservation significance must be quantified. Second, society’s preferences for these services should be identified (Martín-López et al., 2012). Third, there is a need to assess the extent to which conservation goals would be served by interventions for securing ecosystem services. Together, this information can help design credible and potentially effective policies that meet conservation goals and also maintain ecosystem services.
