Abstract
This dissertation seeks to establish that certain natural goods are systematically undervalued and neglected in the decision-making processes of private and public institutions. It is further argued that these natural goods lend security to and enhance the quality of life, hence their continued existence and functioning have considerable value for the survival and well-being of this and future generations. Decision-makers are therefore advised of the need to establish the level at which these natural goods will be maintained in order to prevent their continued decline past some critical point.
