As ecosystems and biodiversity fall to cities, agriculture, infrastructure, climate change and pollution, nature’s ability to provide food, oxygen, clean water and climate regulation plummets. Climate change, pollution and biodiversity carry price tags that are heftier and longer lasting. These are all smart investments.
