Demonstration of InVEST by Heather Tallis of the Natural Capital Project (May 19, 2 pm US EDT/11 am US PDT).  Government officials, conservation professionals, farmers, and other land owners make decisions about how to use their land all the time. Yet, never before have any of these groups had a systematic way to demonstrate the future costs and benefits of their decisions for people and the environment. In its most ground-breaking effort, the Natural Capital Project aims to meet this challenge with InVEST, a new tool that can model and map the delivery, distribution, and economic value of life-support systems (ecosystem services), well into the future. The tool will help users visualize the impacts of potential decisions, identifying tradeoffs and compatibilities between environmental, economic, and social benefits.  Learn more about InVEST at http://naturalcapitalproject.org/InVEST.html.    Register for this webinar at www1.gotomeeting.com/register/832231616.
