How about $150,000 per patient per year?
The considerable urban expansion led to a loss of 8.5 billion RMB yuan ecosystem service values per year on average between 1994 and 2003.
On the whole, the land use/land cover changes in the Nenjiang River Basin had led to a total net decline of 2.43 billion USD, about 97.2 million USD per year in ecosystem service value from 1980 to 2005.
Mangrove forests are the economic foundations of many tropical coastal regions [18] providing at least US$1.6 billion per year in "ecosystem services" worldwide [7].
The degradation of these ecosystems costs us EUR 50 billion per year worldwide, and that bill is only set to rise.
Townsend et al. [11] estimated an additional carbon uptake by land in the order of 0.3 1.3 PgC per year, using an ecosystem model and spatially explicit nitrogen depositions from fossil fuels burning (NOy).
Dr Petersen organises workshops around the world to educate communities about their coral reefs, which are a breeding ground for fish, support tourism and offer coastal protection from storms - ecosystem "services" worth an estimated $375bn per year to the global economy.
For the project to work, AIDER will have to succeed in the market for REDD offsets, which is currently valued at around $100 million per year, according to Ecosystem Marketplace's 2014 State of the Forest Carbon Markets report.
Mangroves are disappearing at a rate of 2% per year, according to Ecosystem Marketplace's 2014 report, "Turning over a New Leaf: State of the Forest Carbon Markets", which offers a solid argument for investing in "blue carbon" projects that slow climate change by saving or restoring seagrasses, tidal salt marshes, and mangroves.
