Sommario/riassunto |
|
<I>The Creation of Markets for Ecosystem Services in the United States</I> is a detailed, critical analysis of the most advanced efforts to create ecosystem services markets in the United States. With the help of in-depth case studies of three well-known attempts to create such markets - in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, the Ohio River basin and the Willamette River basin - the book explains why very few of these markets have actually succeeded even after close to two decades of much scholarly enthusiasm, significant federal funding and concerted efforts by NGOs, government agencies and private businesses. |
