Perils of Basing Nature Conservation on Economic Benefits

"To make ecosystem services [economic benefits provided by natural ecosystem] the foundation of our conservation strategies is to imply -- intentionally or otherwise -- that nature is only worth conserving when it is, or can be made, profitable." - quote from the article Selling Out On Nature, by Douglas J. McCauley, published in the journal Nature from the September 7, 2006 issue.
