The Conservation Of Biological Diversity: An Economic Framework

This paper presents a comprehensive economic framework for the conservation of biological diversity. This framework combines a simple model for valuing different sets of species with a decision theoretic model involving extinction probabilities to identify the optimal conservation strategy. Although the overall straight forward in principle, a number of practical problems are discussed.
