Sunday Evening Conversations on Creation webmeeting
Following this year’s theme of Connections between People & Nature, Greg Biddinger, a PhD in Ecology, will address eco-system valuation in his talk entitled Putting a Price on Nature – Should We?
At the June web meeting, we welcome Gregory R. Biddinger, Ph.D., Managing Director and Principle, Natural Land Management. At the turn of the millennium, the United Nations Environmental Program put out a call to Ecologists and Economists to come together to create a vision of how natural systems provide essential support for human communities. Over the last decade there has been an explosion of intellectual energy focused on refining the original concept and building an acceptable methodology to quantify the value of nature. Some would say putting a price on nature or more broadly defining a value for natural systems is problematic. Some would even suggest it is ethically inappropriate and technically suspect. We will explore both sides of this question in general and more specifically in line with life in Houston.
