[DupyLinks] Reuters AlertNet - FEATURE-What price nature? Bogs $6,000, reefs $10,000

[http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L20346902.htm]

"Dasgupta said one problem for Eco-nomics was that nature is inherently priceless -- without it all life would die."

This is an interesting concept, applying monetary value to ecological assets. The figures sound like very conservative estimates to me, though. I agree with the Dasgupta quote above.
