Prompts:

1. Is the idea of ecosystem services too anthropocentric?

2. How much, if any, should intrinsic values be considered when evaluating the worth of ecosystems?

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?
