"The business case for biodiversity is clear. Whether it is for reasons of ensured supplies or risks to corporate image, business does have good reasons to protect biodiversity. Similarly, there is a way that markets can encourage conservation. That is nice to know, but how can conservation organisations engage to make these examples standard practice, and what are the implications for the future work of IUCN?"

Chair: Yolanda Kakabadse, outgoing President, IUCN

Reflections on the Markets Theme: "The ethical perspective"
