Conservation Crossroads

In this episode of #ConservationCrossroads we try to understand the value of nature!

We chat to some people around our university and ask them why they like nature, and which aspects they really value. We talk about #EcosystemServices and get into the nitty-gritty details to highlight all the different ways nature can be valued. To explore the nuances around how to put a value on all of the benefits we receive from nature, we talk to Professor Niels Strange who talks us through ecosystem services valuation!

If you want to keep updated with Professor Niels Strange you can find him on Twitter at @StrangeNiels or check out his publication list on GoogleScholar bit.ly/2sNlVBj.
