Originally published in 1992 Economics for the Wilds argues that an
economics that properly values the resources of the wilds offers
the best long-term security for their future. Most of the world's
wilds have, in fact, always been utilized by local societies who
have managed their resources sustainably, and one important
guarantee for their preservation is therefore the continued
participation of those communities and an adequate reward to them
for their management. The book looks at the complexity and global
nature of the issues, at the application of economics to the wilds
and at the policies for their conservation and sustainable
management which then result. It also examines specific forms of
utilization of wild species and habitats, both sustainable and
unsustainable, and including community-based development, tourism,
the use of rainforest products, poaching and the impact of
conservation on wildlife use. The book concludes that a
comprehensive utilization strategy for wild resources is needed to
ensure their continued existence and the continued flow of benefits
from them.
