GlobalDES
Global Database of regulatory Documents on Ecosystem Services
Background
GlobalDES has its origins in an Massive Online Open Course on ecosystem services taught by the staff of the University of Geneva in Switzerland.
The learners (i.e., students) have been asked for the past three years onwards to contribute at least one entry to GlobalDES by describing a document published in their country that proposes concrete measures to safeguard ecosystem services.
Although the GlobalDES database is currently limited in size, we wanted to advertise on this project with the publication of a Short Communication in the scientific journal Ecosystem Services. The pre-print is available to any reader, and we invite anyone interested in contributing one or more entries to GlobalDES.
