Abstract
This chapter addresses the substance of the United Nations Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, especially as it relates to non-monetary values and ecosystem and hydrologic services. First, we address the emerging global trend toward attending to community environmental values. Next, we attend to community values and ecosystem and hydrologic services. Finally, we recount the conclusions and progress following the MA. Overall, the conclusions of the report highlight the relationship between the desire to include community values and the ability to do so.
