“…There are many other CES that are considered important in developing country settings, such as supporting maintenance of social and community relationships, social cohesion, intergenerational bequest values, cultural transmission, community resilience, or other alternative epistemologies and ontologies related to cultural practices (Barnes-Mauthe et al 2015, Gould et al 2015, Gould and Lincoln 2017, Lyver et al 2017). Many of these values are related to conserving ecosystem processes for future generations and tied to https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol27/iss3/art23/ the concept of irreplaceability; hence, many of these CES cannot be valued or compensated monetarily (Manero et al 2022).…”

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) have been proposed as the "intangible and non-material benefits that people enjoy from ecosystems", and the literature has been expanding on how CES are defined, identified, valued, and incorporated into policy. However, the literature on CES has a strong geographical bias toward Europe and North America. In this Special Feature, authors examine how and in what ways CES concepts and frameworks have applicability in diverse developing country settings, and the particular challenges that CES approaches face. By looking at CES across different contexts in the global South, the articles emphasize the usefulness of a range of methodologies for eliciting and valuing CES; the importance of CES for a variety of people, including urban dwellers and Indigenous peoples; and the need for more practices and programs for ecosystem management that incorporate CES. Overall, the articles in this Special Feature show that research focusing on the global South can make positive contributions to the growing CES literature by drawing attention to key challenges such as power and inequality in access to CES, pressures from social and environmental change on CES, and the importance of relational and other culturally diverse values elicited through appropriate methodologies.

“…Placing a dollar value on cultural heritage, sense of place, and belief systems, for instance, may be inappropriate or incompatible (Winthrop 2014). In cases where traditional NMV approaches are not suitable, qualitative research methods like semi-structure interviews and participatory mapping may be used to understand Indigenous peoples' values (Manero et al 2022).…”

“…The greater economic literature on valuation of natural resources used or relied on by indigenous peoples, although growing, is limited. Manero et al (2022) conducted a focused literature review of non-market valuation (NMV) studies assessing Indigenous peoples' values. They identified 63 peer-reviewed articles that addressed key limitations of conventional NMV techniques when applied to Indigenous groups.…”

“…They identified 63 peer-reviewed articles that addressed key limitations of conventional NMV techniques when applied to Indigenous groups. One third of the reviewed studies solely elicited values from Indigenous peoples while the remaining studies surveyed locals or the general population (Manero et al 2022). In light of the differences between Tribal and non-Tribal settings, discussed in more detail below, one may wonder at the validity of the survey instruments that queried both Tribal and non-Tribal populations to adequately capture nonmarket values of Indigenous peoples.…”

“…Manero et al (2022) identified over 50 valuation studies that have gone beyond simple market replacement techniques to estimate Indigenous peoples' monetary values of ecosystem goods and services including travel cost models, choice modeling, contingent valuation, replacement cost, and equivalency analysis. Duffield, (1999) used the contingent valuation method to value foregone tribal use of the Penobscot River in Maine.…”

Tribal Perspectives on Preventing the Introduction of Zebra Mussels into Flathead Lake, Montana

Dreissenid mussels are known to alter ecological processes and thus the provision of ecosystem services. Few studies exist linking changes in ecosystem services from aquatic invasive species (AIS) to changes in human welfare. Preventing AIS introduction is a priority for protecting ecosystem services. However, monetization of AIS disruptions to ecosystem services is rare, producing incomplete cost estimates for AIS-related damages and, by extension, inadequate public policy decisions. Non-Anglo American value systems are also absent from public policy. Including indigenous peoples’ nonmarket values is necessary for a more comprehensive accounting of the distributional consequences of management decisions across affected parties. In co-development with the the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) of the Flathead Reservation (Montana), we have designed a survey instrument and research approach with cultural relevance and methods appropriate to a Tribal setting. Based on a physical/chemical/ecological simulation model of the Flathead Lake ecosystem, we developed a set of scientifically plausible characterizations of ecosystem services affected by dreissenid mussel invasion. We pretested the salience of these hypothetical outcomes in focus groups.
