PP Presentation

• Can we compare the value of a unique sacred place to the revenues and jobs created by logging, mining or razing the site?

• Scientists and others do not fully understand the interdependencies in ecosystems, and so when we do benefit/cost on one element of the ecosystem we cannot understand the implications for all the other elements of the ecosystem.

• In other words, social and ecological systems may be too complex to comprehensively quantify through cost/benefit analysis.
