Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – Repost from @conservationorg A new study co-authored by @ConservationOrg scientists offers a new way to approach conservation by measuring and mapping areas that provide critical benefits for humanity — like fresh water, protection from flooding and fodder for grazing livestock. The research is not only the most comprehensive global mapping of nature’s benefits to people, but its methodology can be adapted to national or sub-national decision-making — helping to better account for the impacts of conservation policies and investments on local communities.
