Please join Interior’s Office of Policy Analysis on October 7 for their
monthly speaker series.  This month’s seminar features a discussion on
how ecosystem
services can be factored into a variety of public and private sector
decisions in ways that support environmental, social and economic goals. Human
well-being and nature are inextricably linked. Yet policies and practices
related to human development and ecosystem protection are too often
developed separately or even viewed as in opposition. By considering nature
in terms of ecosystem services, decision makers can see and value the
environment as a series of *assets or benefits* that humans in fact depend
upon.

To stream this event live, please join 5-10 minutes early to avoid
technical difficulties.  The recorded event will be posted to the Office of
Policy Analysis website:  http://www.doi.gov/ppa/Seminar_Series.cfm.
Closed captioning will also be available.
