Silver Lining Institute

Aimee Schmidt is our chief environmental economist. Her graduate degrees in economics and natural resource policy underpin her work in sustainable land management through collaboration with stakeholders, calculating benefits of alternative land-use strategies.

We engage interdisciplinary teams of scientists, policy analysts and data modelers that enable clients to identify land-use strategies that maximize socioeconomic return on conservation investment.

Coupling ecosystem service markets with risk management tools, we improve conservation success while increasing business profit from a reduction in production costs.
