However, perhaps because this capital is free, we have tended to view it as limitless, abundant and always available for our use, exploitation and conversion. Capitalizing on Nature shows how modeling ecosystems as natural capital can help us to analyze the economic behavior that has led to the overuse of so much ecological wealth. It explains how this concept of ecosystem as natural capital sheds light on a number of important issues, including landscape conversion, ecological restoration, ecosystem resilience and collapse, spatial benefits and payments for ecosystem services. The book concludes by focusing on major policy challenges that need to be overcome in order to avert the worsening problem of ecological scarcity and how we can fund novel financing mechanisms for global conservation"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000446155 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000446155 650_0 $$aEcosystem management. 000446155 650_0 $$aEnvironmental economics. 000446155 77607 $$iPrint version:$$aBarbier, Edward, 1957-$$tCapitalizing on nature.$$dCambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9781107007277$$z1107007275$$w(DLC) 2011019267 000446155 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000446155 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=400636$$zOnline Access 000446155 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1111/2011019267-t.html 000446155 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1111/2011019267-b.html 000446155 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97811070/07277/cover/9781107007277.jpg 000446155 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1111/2011019267-d.html 000446155 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:446155$$pGLOBAL_SET 000446155 980__ $$aEBOOK 000446155 980__ $$aBIB 000446155 982__ $$aEbook 000446155 983__ $$aOnline 000446155 994__ $$a92$$bISE
