This paper about Mali focusses on the connection between poverty and ecosystem services. Published by IISD in 2005 it concludes that
Mali’s ecosystem services revealed four critically stressed ecosystem services: maintenance of biodiversity; food and fibre provision; water supply, purification and regulation; and fuel provision. In terms of services related to human well-being, the report finds the following wanting: the ability to be adequately nourished; the ability to access adequate clean water; the ability to have energy and to keep warm; and the ability to earn a livelihood.
