Ecosystem stewardship is an action-oriented framework intended to foster the social-ecological sustainability of a rapidly changing planet. Recent developments identify three strategies that make optimal use of current understanding in an environment of inevitable uncertainty and abrupt change: reducing the magnitude of, and exposure and sensitivity to, known stresses; focusing on proactive policies that shape change; and avoiding or escaping unsustainable social-ecological traps. As we discuss here, all social-ecological systems are vulnerable to recent and projected changes but have sources of adaptive capacity and resilience that can sustain ecosystem services and human well-being through active ecosystem stewardship.
生态系统管理是一个面向行动的框架，旨在促进快速变化的地球的社会-生态可持续性。最近的发展确定了三种策略，这些策略在不可避免的不确定性和突然变化的环境中充分利用当前的认识：减少已知压力的程度、暴露和敏感性；关注塑造变化的积极政策；避免或摆脱不可持续的社会-生态陷阱。正如我们在这里讨论的，所有的社会-生态系统都容易受到最近和预计的变化的影响，但它们有适应能力和弹性的来源，可以通过积极的生态系统管理来维持生态系统服务和人类福祉。
