again, she noted at least one 'win-win situation' - where two or more ecosystem
services benefi t from the same action. ' On a personal note, maybe I wouldn't have
caught Lyme disease if larger tracts of forest and greater mammal diversity had been
preserved - and that would have provided a conservation benefi t too. '
How many similar 'win-win situations' can you think of?
