Thank you.
Ecosystem services are extremely important to society as a whole. As we've already discussed a little bit, when you change a landscape to a point where the ecosystem services are not provided, you have far-reaching and very significant impacts and damages that do occur.
Again, as I mentioned, whether it be about flooding, invasive species movement, or erosion, there are a lot of values and benefits that are gained when you have a healthy, fully functioning ecological system along with the biological diversity that it affords.
It is extremely important to note that even if there is a 70% loss, if you have an opportunity to preserve what's there, that should be number one, because the investment you have to make in restoring and repairing is huge in comparison. Again, that goes back to the balance that has to be reached between putting conservation on the ground and working hard to ensure that you keep working landscapes in mind, that you work with landowners to keep them fully functioning within the basic communities and counties.
