CSF held its 2009 International Economic Tools Course from August 10-12, 2009 at Stanford University in California, USA. During the two-week course, participants learned to use economics to be more strategic and successful in their conservation work. Participants studied natural resource and environmental economics, practiced communication and negotiation techniques, and got hands-on experience with cost-benefit analysis.
