NatCap Salon

May 19, 2010

On May 19, 2010, the Woods Institute for the Environment, The Nature Conservancy and the World Wildlife Fund hosted a discussion on the Natural Capital Project's global research activities. Presentations focused on strategies for investing in nature, with case studies from South America, Hawai'i and China. There was also a presentation on Marine InVEST, a decision-making tool for mapping and valuing the many services provided by coastal and ocean ecosystems. This web page includes links to presentation videos from the Salon, slides from each speaker and background information on four project demonstration sites.

The Natural Capital Project is a joint venture among Stanford University, The Nature Conservancy and World Wildlife Fund. Detailed information can be found at the Natural Capital Project website.

"The vision of the Natural Capital Project is a world in which people, governments, and corporations recognize the values of natural capital - embodied in Earth's lands and waters - in supporting human well-being, and routinely incorporate these values into decision-making."

- Gretchen Daily, Chair and Co-founder, Natural Capital Project and Senior Fellow, Woods Institute
