Methods for raising awareness of how human’s value the environment range from monetary valuation through to greater public participation in decisions.

Lessons are drawn from both the successes and failures of different approaches. Case studies address a wide variety of cutting edge environmental problems from agro-forestry and wetlands to climate change, biodiversity and genetically modified organisms.
