Valuing nature: Māori philosophy and the capability approachFootnote

This paper was developed from an earlier working paper, “Valuing the Environment in a Diverse World”, Maitreyee: The Environment, March 2011 (http://www.capabilityapproach.com/pubs/Maitreyee18_Mar_11.pdf). I would like to thank members of the “Indigenous Peoples” HDCA thematic group for comments. I wish to also thank three anonymous reviewers for their valuable feedback.
