Gretchen Daily is a professor of biological sciences, the director of the Tropical Research Program at Stanford's Center for Conservation Biology, an FSI senior fellow, and the Director of the Interdisciplinary Program on Environment and Resources (IPER). An ecologist by training, Gretchen Daily is working to develop a scientific basis - and political and institutional support - for managing Earth's life support systems.
Her primary efforts are focused on making conservation mainstream - economically attractive and commonplace. Her scientific research is on quantifying the conservation value of human-dominated landscapes, for biodiversity and the many societal benefits it supplies, and on enhancing this value through innovative conservation finance. She and her lab group have ongoing projects in Hawai'i, Costa Rica, Kenya, and India. Daily works extensively with private landowners, economists, lawyers, business people, and government agencies to incorporate environmental issues into business practice and government policy.
Daily has served on a subcommittee of the Presidential Committee of Advisers on Science and Technology (1997-98) and on numerous other panels and committees for the United Nations, the World Bank, private foundations and scientific institutions. She received the Frances Lou Kallman Award for Excellence in Science and Graduate Study (1992). She has been named a Pew Fellow in Conservation and the Environment (1994), a fellow of the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program (1999), a recipient of the 21st Century Scientist Award (2000), a Smith Senior Scholar of The Nature Conservancy (2003), a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2003), and the US National Academy of Sciences (2005).
She has published about 150 scientific and popular articles. Her most recent book is The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to Make Conservation Profitable, coauthored with journalist Katherine Ellison. She received a BS, MS and PhD in biological sciences, all at Stanford.
