INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATORS

The work being undertaken in this project is at the forefront of research into the social, ecological and economic functioning of ecosystem services, and it is our aim to involve a number of our overseas colleagues in this effort. The results will not only have an impact on the way in which Australia regards its natural ecosystems, but will also have a significant impact internationally. Already we have had major contributions from:

• Stanford University (Gretchen Daily)
• The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) is a marine research facility of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES). (Robert Costanza)
• University of Minnesota (Tony Starfield)
• Columbia University, New York (Geoff Heal)
• Stockholm University (Department of Systems Ecology - Carl Folke)
• The Beijer Institute
• Manaaki Whenua, Landcare Research (Anthony Cole)
• Washington College of Law (Jim Salzman)
