abstract = "A group of scientists created in 2015 the Brazilian Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (BPBES), the first
national-level initiative to emerge independently but inspired by
the enterprise undertaken by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy
Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). The main
goal of BPBES is to develop assessment and special reports in
co-production and dialogue with governmental and nongovernmental
stakeholders in Brazil, but independently from governmental
perusal. This paper describes BPBESs principles, design, routine
practices, outputs, achievements, challenges, near-future
perspectives, and costs. After three and a half years of
activities, BPBES emerges as a link that connects various
organisations within a boundary chain at the science-policy
interface. By navigating the socioecological arena, engaging with
various actors, we argue that BPBES is an emerging important
player in conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and
ecosystem services in Brazil. Differently from the regular
scientific panel that produces assessment reports and special
reports from time to time, we discuss the BPBES approach whereby
such reports are due to be continuously updated by a system that
combines consultation to and engagement of multiple actors,
curators of specific themes, revision work, and communication to
non-expert audiences. Challenges include how to avoid fatigue
typical of extensive participatory processes, how to deal with the
issue of representativeness of stakeholders selected, and
long-term fundraising strategy. Finally, we discuss the potential
relevance of other national level initiatives to facilitate
on-the-ground implementation of practices and aspirations fostered
by intergovernmental panels.",
