This book presents innovative alternatives to monetary approaches for representing environmental values in decision processes, with contributors from Europe and Australia joining together to explore social psychology, multidimensional non-monetary techniques, and participatory approaches.

Methods for raising awareness of how human's value the environment range from monetary valuation through to greater public participation in decisions. In this book a group of international experts explore innovative alternatives which are critically evaluated and compared. Lessons are drawn from both the successes and failures of different approaches. Case studies address a wide variety of cutting edge environmental problems from agro-forestry and wetlands to climate change, biodiversity and genetically modified organisms.
