The Nature Conservancy

Tourism and recreation is an ecosystem service which, due to inappropriate or inexistant pricing mechanisms is creating economic imbalances and undermines the functioning of the free-market system. By implementing ecosystem valuation and market-based mechanisms at sites in a broad international alliance with partners including Bank of America, UNESCO, US National Park Service and others, the proposal aims to promote an enabling environment for a free-market solution to this problem so that conservation, community and business benefits result. The proposal focuses on developing initiatives at between three and five sites and their respective systems and supporting a global learning network and publications of case studies to share lessons broadly around the world.
