Applying cultural ecosystem services: the relevance of cultural interactions between people and nature for environmental protection, conservation and restoration.

A copy of a questionnaire survey used to investigate the relevance of cultural ecosystem services (CES) to environmental Non-Governmental Organisations (eNGOs).The results of the survey will be included in a book chapter for the upcoming Routledge Handbook on Cultural Ecosystem Services (planned for publication in 2024). The chapter will present a synthesis of how cultural interactions between people and nature support efforts to protect and conserve the environment, identifying both best-practice and barriers to their adoption. We hope it will offer useful guidance and inspiration for how cultural ecosystem services can increase conservation impact.This work has been reviewed and approved by WWT's Human Ethics Committee.
