Brendan Fisher: Managing the Globe for Biodiversity and Human Welfare

How can we improve human welfare without destroying the planet? In this talk, Gund Fellow Brendan Fisher discusses projects across Asia, East Africa and South America looking at when, where, and how well-functioning ecosystems improve human health, increase household income, and protect biodiversity. While trade-offs between conservation and human development always exist, these projects show that many can be mitigated at low cost to society.
