如果能够认识到保护我们这个自然世界的经济价值,我们就能在作出经济决策时考虑到自然环境,斯坦福大学环保生物学研究中心主任格雷琴·戴利如是说。格雷琴·戴利:越来越多的环保措施不断兴起,这些努力会让人类和自然健康发展,帮助我们寻求二者的和谐共处。她将这种理念称为“自然资本”——将经济资本的想法扩展到人类可从大自然中获得的有益的物品和服务上,例如为作物授粉的蜜蜂以及保护海岸不受风暴侵害的湿地等。 If we can recognize the economic value of protecting our natural world, we can take the natural environment into account when making economic decisions, said Greyhound Daley, director of the Center for Environmental Biology at Stanford University. Gretchen Daley: More and more environmental protection measures are emerging. These efforts will make people and nature healthy and help us to seek harmony between the two. She calls this notion “natural capital” - extending the idea of ​​economic capital to the beneficial goods and services that mankind can access from nature, such as bees pollinating crops and protecting the coast from storms Wetlands and so on.
