2Chapter 1Introduction
The complexity of today’s environmental problems has amplifiedto the point where we have finally admitted that we have been ignoringsustainability in human action with great impact on the functioning ofnatural systems.The process of Mapping and Assessing Ecosystems and theirServices (MAES) promoted by the European Commission is considereda first step to achieve the good status of ecosystems and their services.Romania has launched the MAES process in March 2015 with theimplementation of the project “Demonstrating and promoting naturalvalues to support decision-making in Romania” (shortly N4D – Naturefor decision-making).MAES is a complex process that goes beyond its title of Mappingand Assessing Ecosystems and their Services. In fact, MAES isabout science, policy, capacity building and communication/awareness raising, which altogether constitute the conceptualframework 1 used for the implementation of the N4D project(Figure no.1).Figure 1. MAES conceptual framework underpinningthe implementation of the N4D project.Assessment of Ecosystems and Ecosystem Services in Romania3Action 5 of the Biodiversity Strategy requires Member States, with theassistance of the Commission, to map and assess the state of ecosystemsand their services in their national territory by 2014. Given the laterstart of the process in Romania, the opportunity to adopt, since thebeginning, an integrated approach between the four MAES pillarswas taken based on the following considerations: a policy analysis is a1 The conceptual framework used for the MAES process in Romania is based on the factthat to achieve Good Ecosystems Governance, scientific information on ecosystems andtheir services need to be integrated into public policies dealing with natural resourcesand environmental management. Once ecosystems and their services are mapped andassessed, scientific information needs to be communicated to relevant stakeholders.Awareness must be raised on the importance to improve public policies in order to avoidbiodiversity loss and achieve a Sustainable Green Economy in the context of sustainabledevelopment. If necessary, stakeholders’ capacity to use MAES knowledge needs to bebuilt.EEA Grants 2009-2014
