生态系统服务——科学与法律

Ecosystem Services:science and law

生态系统服务是指人类从生态系统直接或间接获得的效益。生态系统服务具有多样性。可以把生态系统服务分为财产利益与环境利益。生态系统服务既可以是生活环境利益也可以是生态环境利益。公共性是区别环境利益与财产利益的重要特征。环境保护的目的不是恢复生态系统结构而是生态系统服务。生态系统服务付费与生态系统服务价值评估为环境法律制度的发展提供了理论基础。生态系统服务理论一方面可以用来理解环境利益,同时也要求我国目前的环境法律制度予以改进。

Ecosystem services are the benefits human beings derive,directly or undirectly,from ecosystem.Ecosystem services are multiple which can be divided into property and environmental interest. Ecosystem services can be both life environmental benefits and eco-environmental benefits. Publicness is the important difference between environmental interest and the interest of property. The purpose of environmental protection is not to restore ecosystem structure but ecosystem services. Payments for ecosystem services and the valuation of ecosystem services provide a theoretical basis for the development of environmental legal system. Ecosystem services theory can be used to understand the environmental interest on the one hand,and also requires our current environment legal system should be improved.
