It’s Time to Pay Attention to the Hard Working, Silent Partner That is Nature

Southern Maryland Online,

Environmental Commentary by Sara Kaplaniak

[...]
In 2010, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley established an Ecosystems Services Working Group (ESWG) to identify ways of recovering the true costs of ecosystem services lost through land conversion and infrastructure development. In a report released last fall, the ESWG confirmed that although Maryland has one of the most protective forest conservation laws in the nation, the state loses approximately 7,000 acres of forests each year to development without ever accounting for the value of lost environmental benefits. Similar analyses were conducted for the state’s non-tidal wetlands, coastal bays and other waterways.
[...]
I look forward to watching governments, corporations and non-profit organizations recognize, value and incorporate nature into business models and decisions. I doubt it will take them long to realize the many incentives for protecting and restoring nature in lieu of more destruction. Then, we’ll really put these landscapes to work.
