Testing the SELS framework with respect to:

restoration of ecosystem/landscape services (understanding the trade-offs with land-use changes)

transdisciplinarity & integration of concepts effective stakeholder engagement (how does the framework answer the right questions for the right people?)

bridging research-implementation gap

Contribution to scientific understanding of values, perceptions, trade-offs, management & financing across institutional & geographical scales.
