Murder and Illegal Logging in Peru (BBC Business Daily)

Katrina Mullen, author of CGD report "The Value of Forest Ecosystem Services to Developing Economies", is interviewed by Ed Butler about economic costs of shrinking forests.

"What we've been looking at are the benefits of intact ecosystems, and they are things that are often not valued in monetary terms. They're not bought and sold in markets. But they're real, tangible benefits. Say, people living in tropical forests areas might have better nutrition because they have access to wild fruits and wild animals to supplement their diets. So that is something that might be lost if forest was cleared."
