In a recent article on the legendary Turkey Track Ranch, I had the privilege of being interviewed about natural capital. It’s where the past — the ranch’s rich legacy — and its future … come together.
The interview was roughly 20 minutes long and from it the writer extracted a few key ideas pertaining to the subject. However, the original uncut version had more of my musings on natural capital, for which the publisher referred to in his publisher’s note in the summer 2022 Land magazine.
In 2012, some academics from the EPA’s Rhode Island branch asked me to co-author a paper with them on natural capital. I had to pass, unfortunately. Since then, the subject of natural capital has been adopted increasingly by the business and financial world, leaving the halls of academia. Straddling these two worlds, it’s a kind of personal mission. This area is increasingly my work’s focal point—the resources’ nexus and nature’s treasured assets.
