In this presentation, Dr. Bouvier will review what ecologists need to know about economics &#8211; to be able to recognize a &#8220;good&#8221; economic study from a bad one, to reveal the hidden assumptions within an economic study, and to make sure that the &#8220;right&#8221; values are included. Like it or not, there is power in economic arguments and measures. Using economic language helps ensure that ecological restoration is on equal footing with other, more marketable services.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Bouvier, PhD, is founder and principal of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rbouvierconsulting.com\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rbouvier consulting<\/a>, a consulting firm specializing in environmental and natural resource economics. She is passionate about communicating the economic and social benefits of environmental protection, conservation, and stewardship; she believes that integrating environmental risks and benefits into economic decision-making leads to more responsible long term actions.\u00a0 Her work includes analysis of the costs of &#8220;stream smart&#8221; versus &#8220;non fish-friendly&#8221; culverts, economic costs of electricity from wind power versus Hydro Quebec, and the economic benefits of restoring native fish runs. In this workshop, participants will learn about and engage with some of the tools economists use to \u201cvalue\u201d ecosystem services.\u00a0 Participants will learn how to \u201cdecode\u201d economic arguments, and, using the same language, promote the economic value of environmental protection, conservation, and restoration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Join us in
