Natural ecosystems provide us with clean and abundant water, regulate our climate, maintain productive soils and are beautiful storehouses for a wealth of known and undiscovered species. Forests, grasslands, and wetlands undergird the health of our economies, our communities and our businesses. They are in short priceless. But by and large the services provided by nature are treated as if they had no value at all – leading landowners, communities and governments to conclude that felling the forest or converting lands to other uses is the best and only option. EcoDecision is committed to changing this calculus in tangible, practical ways . By developing creative mechanisms to realize tangible value for stakeholders we mobilize investment to conserve invaluable, functioning natural ecosystems in the tropics. We draw on emerging markets for ecosystem services and help put appropriate mechanisms in place to catalyze new finance, providing benefits for nature and its stewards. |
