Why do we care about biodiversity? | Chris Thomas The UN's The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (Teeb) project shows us the real cost of damaging natureWhy do we care about nature, and can we actually quantify what the benefits are? This is what the UN's The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (Teeb) project is all about, and the answer is remarkable. The natural world – biodiversity – provides us with food, materials and energy. We eat animals and plants; insects pollinate many of the foods we consume; microbes in the soil provide the nutrients the plants to grow; vegetation and soil biodiversity reduce flooding and release clean drinking water; vegetation soaks up a substantial proportion of the climate warming carbon dioxide gasses that we emit. The list goes on and on. Urban and rural citizens alike rely on these natural products and benefits.The real cost of damaging nature, it turns out, is at least 10 times greater than the cost of maintaining the ecosystem as it is so that we can reap the associated benefits. To take an example close to the University of York where I work, the costs of flood defence construction and flood-related insurance claims in the Vale of York hugely outweigh the agricultural benefits of drainage ditches and overgrazing in the River Ouse catchment. Rather than treating nature as a pleasant luxury, Teeb argues that we should integrate the real costs and benefits within our decision-making. It should not be the preserve solely of environment and conservation ministries, but it should be at the core of the activities of finance departments. Teeb argues that we should get rid of subsidies that are environmentally damaging and reward beneficial activities that maintain natural ecosystems. This might be by including the costs of damage within the purchase price of products to encou 国連は経済生態系と生物多様性（Teeb）プロジェクトの一つだ私たちに私たちは自然を気にし、有害なnatureWhyの真のコストを示しています私たちは実際にどのようなメリットがあります定量できますか？これは国連の経済生態系と生物多様性（Teeb）プロジェクトのことだすべてについて、その答えは顕著である
