Economic valuation of ecosystem services and biological resources

The role of hydrography in the security of navigation, the preservation of human life at sea, and the protection of the environment, including vulnerable marine ecosystems, has too long been unknown by the public at large.

And so, I think for many reasons ecological, social, economic and perhaps even spiritual this has been a tremendous project and I'm really looking forward to not only myself and my students doing it, but also to promote and teach other scientists how to do this.

Running horizontally along the graph, is ecological footprint, which is a measure of how much resources we use and how much pressure we put on the planet.

And this is the trend in well being over that time, a small increase, but this is the trend in ecological footprint.

Because mother nature only has that much in ecological infrastructure and that much natural capital.

These are not only important ecosystems in their own right, but they also serve as a buffer to protect inland communities.

Two aspects of the valuation of ecosystem services and biological resources are often mentioned in literature.

Sensitive and accurate means of predicting the impacts of stressors on marine organisms are needed to strengthen indices of ecosystem health.

Up in the canopy, if you were sitting next to me and you turned around from those primary forest ecosystems, you would also see scenes like this.

Running horizontally along the graph, is ecological footprint, which is a measure of how much resources we use and how much pressure we put on the planet.

Assisting Governments to operate collectively in the management and sustainable use of integrated transboundary river basin, wetland, coastal zone and large marine ecosystems.

The publication, which will be printed in 2005, includes a brief history of population growth, culture, energy consumption, land use and mining and eco regions, and is followed by a section on changes in Earth cover over time.

But to go from cellulose to ethanol is ecologically unintelligent, and I think that we need to be econologically intelligent about the generation of fuels.
