Banking biodiversity: Valuing or devaluing nature?

The summer 2011 edition of Food Ethics magazine examines the ethics of valuing nature. Contributors discuss the strengths and weaknesses of putting a monetary value on our ecosystem services, and explore other ways to protect biodiversity, including ecological and bioregional economics.

Contributors include Food Ethics Council member, author and philosopher Kate Rawles, Matt Rayment of GHK International, David Baldock (Executive Director, Institute for European Environmental Policy), Mohammed Rafiz (Rainforest Alliance), Vandana Shiva, Chris Knight (PriceWaterhouseCoopers), Henry Buller (Exeter University), Larry Lohmann (The Corner House), and Molly Scott-Cato (Cardiff Metropolitan University).
