DESCRIPTION:Selling nature in order to save it is the core goal animating 
 market-based approaches to environmental conservation.  Such approaches ha
 ve become a central component of international environmental policy and pr
 actice\, with biodiversity offsetting and related policies enacted on ever
 y continent except Antarctica. What are the consequences of this shift? Ca
 n putting a price tag on nature succeed where previous regulatory approach
 es to environmental conservation have failed?  In this talk\, Professor La
 ve will trace the development of market-based forms of environmental manag
 ement\, examining their track record and future potential through integrat
 ed physical and social science analysis of markets for stream and habitat 
 credits.  Professor Lave will argue that the contrast between the dynamism
  and complexity of ecosystems and the stability and simplicity required fo
 r functional markets radically limits the conservation potential of market
 -based approaches.
