Researchers, public officials and NGOs often ask, "Can we put a price on forests?". The question may sound absurd or even cynical, but as an expert in environmental-conservation practices, I believe that measuring biodiversity value could help us better preserve it. Evaluating the "price" of a forest, a lake or a hill for a village, a city or even a country would ensure better conservation practices.
