Report: Estimating the Value of Natural Capital in the Credit River Watershed
November 30, 2009
Read The Pembina Institute’s report, Natural Credit: Estimating the Value of Natural Capital in the Credit River Watershed.
“This project has gone beyond the role typically played by a conservation authority in promoting the importance of a watershed’s natural features and functions as it investigates the human benefits of watershed protection and restoration. This work is an initial step to address the deficiency of such information and the growing need for social and economic perspectives in watershed management. The concepts of natural capital and ecological services provide a basis for better understanding how people benefit from a healthy watershed today and through effective management can continue to benefit in the future.”
