===== Stakeholders =====

Stakeholders can be defined as “any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the ecosystem services” in the specific context (Hauck et al. 2014) ((Hauck, J.; Saarikoski, H.; Turkelboom, F. & Keune, H. (2014): Stakeholder involvement in ecosystem service decision-making and research. In: Potschin, M. and K. Jax (eds): OpenNESS Reference Book. EC FP7 Grant Agreement no. 308428. Online available at www.openness-project.eu/library/reference-book, checked on 5/11/2016.)). To further substantiate this four main categories of stakeholders related to biophysical or physical resources and their ecosystem services/disservices can be distinguished (Demeyer & Turkelboom 2014) ((Demeyer, R. & Turkelboom, F. (2014): The ecosystem services stakeholder matrix. Lovens A. et al. (eds): OpenNESS manual: Stakeholder analysis for environmental decision-making at local level. EC FP7 Grant Agreement no. 308428. INBO, Brussels., checked on 5/11/2016.)):
  - [[:wiki:beneficiaries_alpes|Beneficiaries]]: Stakeholders who directly benefit from ecosystem services (e.g. people seeking relaxation, enjoing natural products); 
  - Burden: Stakeholders who are negatively affected by ecosystem services/disservices (e.g. people with allergic reactions);
  - Impact Stakeholders: Stakeholders who directly impact ecosystems and/or their services (e.g. land owners, resource manager);
  - Indirect Stakeholders: stakeholders who indirectly influence ecosystem (services) (e.g. decision maker, civil society organization).
