Natural Capital Primer

55% of the world's GDP depends directly on nature.

It is vital that we recognize the value of nature to our economies and society, and protect our natural resources for future generations.

The Macdoch Foundation, together with La Trobe University, has launched a new science-based online resource that explains how our lives, businesses and economies depend on natural capital, the Natural Capital Primer.

The Primer breaks down concepts related to natural capital, explains how different industries depend on and impact natural capital, and presents an interactive tool to see how our daily routines depend on natural capital. It also includes a number of resources on natural capital, including materials developed by the Capitals Coalition.
