* Objectives

- Share experiences and ideas about ES in BR

- Discuss the potential and limits of ES for BR

- Rethink ES to fit to MAB values

- Identify concrete paths to go there

* Expected outcomes

- Overview of ES approaches implemented in BR

- New ideas for developing ES approaches in BR

- Identify what is needed for that

- Start a network of people working on ES in BR

* Workshop format

- Participants moving in the room according to their experience of ES (low/high expertise, positive / negative opinion)

- Form pairs for informal discussions to know each other

- Presentation to give an overview on ES (history, controversies, rationalization) (Cécile Barnaud), testimonial of a project (Anna Echassoux)

- World café.

* Round 1 = Deconstruct. In the ES concept, what do you keep, what do you leave?

* Round 2 = Imagine. What could be a project on ES that would be useful and meaningful for BR?

* Round 3 = Action. What would you need to make your dreams real? (what you need to have, what you need to do)

* Main issues discussed

- First question should be : why do we want to use the ES concept?

- They are multiple complementary ways to use it, depending on context & objectives

- ES should be considered as a tool among others

- ES can reveal complex connectedness between man and biosphere

- We should not forget it is a subjective concept

- It is important to look also at intermediate services

- Monetarisation is not mandatory

- ES concept should not put aside conservation issues

- It is not the best tool to study people's representations

- More ecological knowledge is needed, but there is enough for action

- BR could develop participatory approaches to ES for cooperation among people

- Attention to conflicts and trade-offs is important

- We need to have step by step approaches, start with small targets

- The ES fashion will pass : what will last? Some knowledge & ideas to build upon.

* Outputs

- Proposals - projects: ideas about concrete projects of our dreams

- Partnerships : a nice group feeling, several connections for future potential collaborations

- Communication : exchanges about common issues and problems

- Relevance to LAP

- Relevance to SDG : 2, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15
