Wenny The iconic photograph Earthrise, taken by astronaut William Anders as the US space mission Apollo 8 first orbited the moon, captured as never before the isolation of our blue planet in the vast blackness of space. The fragility, interconnectedness, and mutual dependencies of the myriad inhabitants of Spaceship Earth depicted in this stunning photograph propelled the environmental movement around the world. In this volume, we explore one of the lasting legacies of Earthrise and the environmental movement it helped spark. Ecosystem services are those aspects of the earth that benefit humans (Sekercioglu 2010). The history of ecosystem services has been explored in depth elsewhere (chapter 2; Daily 1997; Gómez-Baggethun et al. 2010). After the term was coined by Ehrlich and Mooney (1983), the number of scientific papers that address the subject increased slowly for a number of years, but soon exploded exponentially (fig. 1.2). Investigation of the ecosystem services provided by a variety of taxa is now well underway (fig. 1.3), though much work lies ahead. Here we provide an update on the state-of-the-art regarding ecosystem services provided by birds. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA 2003) brought the concept of ecosystem services to the forefront of policy debate throughout the world (Gómez-Baggethun et al. 2010). The major objectives of the MA were to evaluate the potential consequences of ecosystem change from a broad perspective of human well-being, with an emphasis on ecosystem services. The MA (2003) identified four classes of ecosystem services: "provisioning services such as food, water, timber, and fiber; regulating services that affect climate, floods, disease, wastes, and water quality; cultural services that provide recreational, aesthetic, and spiritual benefits; and supporting services such as soil formation, photosynthesis, and nutrient cycling."
