Criteria to identify and evaluate the conservation costs of natural areas
Abstract
The conservation of natural areas gives rise to costs that are borne both by the inhabitants of the area affected and by government, and to benefits that are enjoyed not only by locals but, furthermore, by the existing and future population as a whole. The appraisal of such costs and the identification of the agents who bear them provides a useful tool for efficient decisionmaking, to support funding demands made on other levels of government and for the adoption of measures to compensate losers. This paper describes a methodology for the calculation of such costs.
