In the video we learned about the variety of tasks that different species perform, and why it is not enough to have one species for each task.<\/p>\n

    When we protect ecosystems, we have to make choices based on values. Protecting one service can be so expensive that it takes away from our ability to protect some other service. How, then, do we place a value on each service? How can we calculate their economic value, and should we include non-economic values in our decision making? How can we compare different kinds of values?<\/span><\/p>\n
