This volume IS one of a number of pubhcatlOns to carry the results
of the flfSt research programme of the Royal Swedish Academy of
SCience's BelJer Institute The Instltute was formed m 1991 m order
to promote mterdlsclplmary research between natural and social
sClentlsts on the mterdependency between economic and ecological
systems In Its first research programme, the BlOdlverslty
Programme, the Instltute brought together a number of leadmg
economists and ecologists to address the theoretlcal and pohcy
Issues associated with the current high rates of blOdlVefSlty loss
m such systems - whether the result of direct depletlOn, the
destructlOn of habitat, or speclahsatlOn m agnculture, forestry and
flshenes ThiS volume reports some of the more pohcy-onented work
carned out under the programme 1 The broad aim of the programme IS
to further our understandmg of the causes and consequences of
blOdlverslty loss, and to Identlfy the optlOns for addressmg the
problem The results have turned out to be surpnsmg to those who see
blOdlverslty loss pnmarlly III terms of the eroslOn of the genetlc
hbrary In vanous ways the work carned out under the programme has
already begun to alter our perceptlOn of where the problem m
blOdlverslty loss hes and what pohcy optlOns are aVailable to deal
with It Indeed, the programme has provided a powerful set of
arguments for reappraISIng not Just the econormc and
ecologlcallmplicatlOns of blOdlverslty loss, but the whole case for
development based on speCIalisatlOn of resource use
