About RFF's Center for the Management of Ecological Wealth

RFF’s Center for the Management of Ecological Wealth (CMEW) develops insights, tools, and resources that help opinion leaders and decisionmakers communicate and account for the benefits of natural systems. CMEW experts foster coordinated economic, ecological, and policy analysis to identify and help resource managers design innovative conservation policies; use natural systems to benefit businesses and communities; and improve on-the-ground natural resource management.

CMEW'S Research Agenda:

• Deliver policy-relevant ecological analysis and methods of measuring outcomes;
• Evaluate and communicate the benefits and economic values of ecological goods, services, and systems; and
• Facilitate development of new institutions, rules, and governance structures to protect and enhance ecological systems
