hello@samdavisphd.comI was so honored when we got picked up by the NOLA.com Editorial Board for our publication on Ecosystem Services in swamps.

"We shouldn't have to put a price tag on forests," said Sam Davis, the alliance's research director. "But when we do it shows just how valuable they are when we invest in their protection."
The Dogwood Alliance study of the economic value of Louisiana wetlands adds to that list: $21.7 billion in tourism and recreation; $12.5 billion in food and pollination; $18.3 billion in water supply and treatment, and $23.8 billion in handling water flow and "extreme events."
