Welcome to the Bank of Natural Capital. This website, part of The TEEB Study, aims to communicate why and how we should value nature.
In addition to its intrinsic worth, nature provides many economic benefits, from food, fuel and fibres, to freshwater recycling, carbon capture and crop pollination. How long would our culture and our economies survive without the ecosystems, biodiversity and natural resources that underpin them?
Yet that’s exactly what’s happening. Quite simply, we use nature because it’s valuable but lose it because it’s free. It’s time for that to stop and we need your help communicating how and why.
