Conservation Priorities when Species Interact: the Noah's Ark Metaphor Revisited

This note incorporates ecological interactions into the Noah's Arch problem [M.L. Weitzman, The Noah's Arch problem, Econometrica 66(6) (1998) 1279-1298]. In doing so, we arrive at a general model for ranking in situ conservation projects accounting for species interrelations and provide an operational cost-effectiveness method for the selection of best preserving diversity projects under a limited budget constraint.
