3. Disregarding the inherent problems associated with placing a monetary value on nature, will monetizing ecosystem services "sell out on nature"?

4. Is the adoption of improving ecosystem services as a conservation goal done at the expense of biodiversity-based conservation? In other words, does an emphasis on improving/conserving ecosystem services divert attention away from focusing on protecting/preserving biodiversity?
