Published in : 2004 Available in : English This publication presents the conceptual framework on poverty and ecosystems.The paper sets out to achieve three objectives. The first objective is to demonstrate how human well-being is dependent on ecosystems and ecosystem services.The second objective is to identify barriers and drivers that prevent the poor from using these ecosystem services to improve their well-being, thereby perpetuating poverty. And the third objective is to identify policy response options to remove the barriers, re-design or even introduce new intervention strategies to allow the poor to improve their well-being through an ecosystem approach.
