Scientists Warn Restoration-based Environmental Markets May Not Improve Ecosystem Health
ScienceDaily (Aug. 14, 2009) — While policymakers across of the globe are relying on environmental restoration projects to fuel emerging market-based environmental programs, an article in the July 31 edition of Science by two noted ecologists warns that these programs still lack the scientific certainty needed to ensure that restoration projects deliver the environmental improvements being marketed.

I did a little Google searching on these two researchers. They're mainly involved with aquatic coastal ecosystems, from what I can see, so what they're saying should be applied only to that aspect of restoration.
I think. John |
