15. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Protected areas: benefits for biodiversity & water management
•
1/3 of the world’s 100 largest cities draw a
large part of their drinking water from PAs.
•
PAs & forests purify water for NY city = US$ 6
billion (total) savings in water treatment costs
•
80% of Quito’s drinking water originate from
two PAs
•
Venezuela’s national PA system prevents
sedimentation that would reduce farm
earnings by around US$ 3.5 million/year.
• Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade
infra

Summaries (in range of languages) and chapters
'This work is a landmark. It shows not only that we have been extraordinarily wasteful, destructive and
inefficient in our treatment of the natural environment but also how careful analysis and measurement can
help us change our ways towards a more productive and responsible relationship with our environment. It
provides a fundamental contribution which shows how careful attention to ecosystems and biodiversity can
help guide our response to the two defining challenges of our century: managing climate change and
overcoming poverty.‘
