What were the biggest challenges in terms of stakeholder engagement that the exemplars faced? Does the blueprint guide future studies on how to engage stakeholders more effectively?
Genevieve Patenaude: Q1: resource availability. It is a challenge to conduct state of the art research, while at the same time engaging consistently and continuously with stakeholders. Q2: the protocol provides a form of resource (checklist) as to what should be considered, so yes, it can act as a guide

Is the blueprint mainly for academics, or can e.g. NGOs and local authorities benefit from it?

Genevieve Patenaude: Anyone interested in conducting Ecosystem Services studies should find the blueprint beneficial.
