Selling out on nature
Article Abstract:
The market-based mechanisms for conservation of nature are not the solution for the current conservation ills and hence it is required to redirect the effort that is being devoted to the commodification of nature back towards instilling a love for nature in more people. The track record of achievements by conservationists motivated by a moral imperative to protect nature for nature's sake is impressive and the imperiled Catskill watershed is the only successful large-scale ecosystem-service based conservation project yet achieved.
