  • How Conservation Strategies Contribute to Sustainable Development

    Environmental Conservation / Volume 17 / Issue 1 / Spring 1990

  • The world is now so tied together by flows of energy, information, and commodities, that action in one part of it is likely to have implications for many other parts. Numerous biological resources — particularly wildlife and forests — are being depleted more by foreign demand than by direct local consumption. Money earned by depleting resources is then often invested in imported industrial products, which themselves may have had negative environmental impacts in the country of their production. As examples we may cite certain pesticides which, on being banned in the countries of their production, are exported to others.

  • IUCN, National Parks, and Protected Areas: Priorities for Action

  • In order to ensure that the full range of species and natural ecosystems continue to form part of the human habitat, national parks and other types of protected areas must be better designed and managed than is usually the case at present. While IUCN has a long history of involvement in protected areas, often in cooperation with UNESCO, the World Wildlife Fund, and UNEP, the World National Parks Congress (held in Bali, Indonesia, during 11–22 October 1982) marked a major turning-point in promoting protected areas as part of the social and economic development process. In this approach, the Congress provided ways and means for the philosophy of the World Conservation Strategy (1980) to be put into action on the ground.

  • Summary

    I am delighted to see that biodiversity economics has become a discipline in its own right. Those of us who have been addressing the multiple dimensions of biodiversity have long sought better ways of incorporating economic thinking into our various challenges. Biodiversity loss is a serious preoccupation for the entire science of conservation biology, which has its own journal and scientific society, but it remains weak in delivering appropriate policy advice, largely because it is not able to demonstrate the economic implications of policy alternatives.

    Other parts of the biodiversity community deal with what ultimately is an economic relationship, namely sustainable use. While the concept certainly has significant ethical dimensions, it more fundamentally deals with the costs and benefits of alternative management strategies, and these often will be based on economic principles. Is it more cost-effective to have safari hunting of rhinoceros, or photo safaris? How can economic calculations of sustainable off-take incorporate stochastic events, such as annual changes in rainfall (and thus productivity of vegetation)?

    Others working on biodiversity focus on very specific issues, such as the impact of invasive alien species on natural ecosystems and human economies. Quantification of the negative impacts of these invasive alien species can help to convince policy-makers to design, implement and support appropriate measures to prevent such species from becoming established or to manage them efficiently once they have become part of an ecosystem.
