This coherent collection of both previously published and specially
written papers applies general economic principles to the
conservation of wildlife and natural areas, and outlines
consequential policy issues. Particular consideration is given to
open-access situations, property rights in wildlife and to the
total valuation of species, allowing for their possible positive
and negative values.Possible conflict between economic growth and
biodiversity conservation is discussed, as are the arguments for
state provision of parks and protected areas. Asian elephants,
kangaroos and whales are selected examples of species used to
illustrate applications of the underlying principles. Forestry
management is also reviewed, drawing upon the experiences of China
and India. Clem Tisdell aims to demonstrate how economics can help
to clarify and resolve social conflicts about nature conservation,
while also highlighting the limits of economics in providing
answers such as those of an intrinsic value. Doubts are thrown upon
some widely accepted concepts, such as the Environmental Kuznets
curve, when applied to the relationship between nature conservation
and economic growth. The Economics of Conserving Wildlife and
Natural Areas will be warmly welcomed by academics and policymakers
in the areas of ecological and environmental economics as well as
natural resource economists and managers and those with a linked
interest to development studies.
