The Currency of Ecology
The theme of the 16th annual A.D. Latornell Conservation Symposium, (held on November 19 – 20, 2009) was The Currency of Ecology and pays tribute to the important role our environment plays in helping to sustain a healthy economy. As we grapple with the impacts of our population’s widening footprint (climate change, rapid growth, deteriorating water resources), we see just how closely the environment is linked to the economy. Protecting, restoring and enhancing our wetlands, lakes, rivers, streams, forests and biodiversity to build a more resilient world is a good place to invest right now. Such a cost effective investment will pay important dividends to us and our children for a very long time.
