Abstract
Background: This study focused on assessing ecosystem services in the Solomon Islands, highlighting their significance and challenges. We evaluated the importance of mangrove management using the Rapid Assessment Wetland Ecosystem Services method and the need for integrated conservation efforts to sustain these valuable ecosystems. Results: This study assessed the first qualitative ecosystem services in the Solomon Islands with multi-stakeholders. The assessment revealed significant benefits from ecosystem services in the Solomon Islands, particularly in provisioning fresh water, food, and cultural services. However, challenges such as illegal logging and degradation threaten these benefits, reducing the effectiveness of ecosystem services. We also identified the importance of mangrove management and the need for integrated conservation efforts to sustain these valuable ecosystems. Conclusions: We identified the significance of ecosystem services in the Solomon Islands. This study can help decision-makers in the Solomon Islands determine and ensure the sustainable management of mangrove areas and broader ecosystems.
