Economic valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services is
possibly the most powerful tool for halting the loss of
biodiversity while maintaining incomes and livelihoods. Yet rarely
have such approaches been applied to tropical forest 'hotspots',
which house the vast majority of the planets plant and animal
species. This ground-breaking work is the most comprehensive and
detailed examination of the economics of environmental valuation
and biodiversity conservation to date. Focusing on the Western
Ghats of India, one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the world,
this volume looks at a cross-section of local communities living
within or near sanctuaries and reserve forests such as coffee
growers, indigenous people and farmers-cum-pastoralists to assess
the use and non-use values that people derive from tropical
forests. It also looks at the extent of their dependence on forests
for various goods and services, and examines their perceptions and
attitudes towards biodiversity conservation and wildlife
protection. The book concludes with an assessment of the
institutional alternatives and policies for promoting biodiversity
conservation through economic valuation methods.
