Tony will be giving an open lecture on "Why ecology and economy must embrace" at The Durrell Institute for Conservation and Ecology and the School of Anthropology and Conservation.
The ongoing degradation of the natural world is often presented as a regrettable but inevitable 'price of progress'.
From the peat bogs and woodlands that help to secure our water, to the bees and soils that produce most of the food we eat, Britain is rich in 'natural capital'.
Yet we take supplies of clean water and secure food for granted, rarely considering the free work that nature does for Britain.
Is nature the great, abundant technology that we have failed to tap? Or would it limit economic progress for those dependent on agriculture and forestry?
Providing For The Planet without Costing The Earth is a day long symposium of short and powerful talks focussing on the most critical sustainability issues we face in the world today.
