Reducing deforestation at a larger scale will, however, always depend on the involvement of governments, because ES beneficiaries lack the means and legal mandate to monitor and enforce conservation contracts. Fourth, because ES management is often land use based, rural landless people may be affected in unintended ways. Especially when ES management options, such as REDD, are applied.

The MEA classifies ES based on their key functions in an ecosystem into regulating, provisioning and supporting (among others) services. This classification approach is particularly useful to identify the amounts and pathways through which ES benefits flow to specific stakeholder groups. Knowing these pathways facilitates the process of determining who could and should cover at least some of the costs of managing ES. From a management point of view, however, this categorisation of ES may be less convenient, because it groups ES with very different characteristics in the same categories.
