Hi Beth,very cool! In the past I've used excerpts from Aldo Leopold's Sand
County Almanac to start a discussion on the intrinsic value of nature. But I'd
be interested in other perhaps more updated references that highlight this.
For exploring the economic value of ecosystem services, I've used the case
study of analyzing the protection of the NYC public water supply watershed in
the Catskills. There are lots of articles that have focused on this topic. Here
is one: Ecosystem Services in the New York City Watershed - Ecosystem

The edited volume by Kellert and Wilson "the Biophelia Hypothesis" is a good
place to look for a chapter on the value to humans of caring for nature.
There are lots of interesting EJ case studies that focus on indigenous peoples
and may allow your students to explore TEK/LEK as well. (see Fikret Berkes,
Kai Erikson)
I'm interested in seeing what others suggest and what readings you end up using.
Happy New year!syma

Subject: [gep-ed] Different types of reasons for saving the environment?
Hi folks:
I'm re-doing my Environmental Policy seminar syllabus for the spring, and want
to have an initial week on different types of reasons for protecting the
environment/addressing environmental problems. My hope is to have a different
reading for each of a variety of (different types of) reasons we could care
about the environment.
Things like:-nature's value in its own terms-the advantages to people generally
in having a protected env (ecosystem services)-the value to us in caring for
nature-issues of environmental justice-any other types of reasons? (looking for
suggestions)
If you have an article or chapter to suggest (including your own), please pass
them on!
Thanks in advance,
Beth--
