The purpose of study is the developing of methodological frameworks for public management decisions, in particular, for the feasibility of applying an ecosystem approach at the national, regional and local levels for solving problems and ensuring the development of forest ecosystem services, which will positively affect the welfare of the population. Methodology. The research methods (induction, deduction, objectivity, system, generalization) are used in article in order to present and justify the main results. Results. Today there is an urgent need to preserve biodiversity to reduce poverty and socio-economic development of individual regions and states, which requires strengthening environmental measures and balanced use of forest ecosystem services with the mandatory elimination of direct and indirect factors of change. Public management decisions should be made using an ecosystem approach and public involvement, which will allow timely identification and consideration of the preferences of different social groups. Practical meaning. The practical significance of the study lies in the applied nature of the proposed model for applying the ecosystem approach to public management decisions at the national, regional and local levels, which will solve the pressing problems of biodiversity conservation, ensure the development of forest ecosystems and have a positive effect on the well-being of the population, which will be devoted to our further research. Prospects for further research. There will be a search for effective ways to change the relation of a society to understand the importance of developing services of all four groups of forest ecosystem.
