The MSR was originally established to protect the elephant population in the area. Its purpose in the 1960s was expanded to include the protection of other large mammal species and again in the 1990s, the growing recognition of its wider biodiversity importance. The purpose of the MSR is now regarded as to contribute to the protected areas system of Mozambique by conserving the exceptional biodiversity of this coastal zone which lies in the Tongaland-Pondoland biogeographical region and enables linkages between marine, coastal and inland components.

Management Guidelines for IUCN Category V Protected Areas Protected Landscapes/Seascapes
Phillips, A.
2002
IUCN
N/A
We need protected areas for the values and benefits that they bring to society. Such places are broadly of two kinds: those where the emphasis is put on the protection of the natural world (even though this very often requires working with local people), and those where the focus is on maintaining a relationship between people and nature. It is this second idea – that of people and nature together – which is at the heart of the Protected Landscape approach; or, to use the language of IUCN’s protected area categorisation, Category V.

N/A
Management Planning is an essential step towards ensuring the proper management of protected areas. This is particularly so as we move forward to the 21st century and face increasing complexities in the management of our parks and reserves. The essential steps of good management planning embracing current best practice are not always understood by park agencies or planning practitioners. So I am pleased to see the publication of these Guidelines, which have been compiled by two very experienced planners.

N/A
One of the most common problems encountered in planning for protected areas in developing countries has been opposition from local communities due to the opportunity costs when use is restricted within these areas. If we add to this the difficulties and costs of achieving a process that is truly participatory, as well as the absence of regulations ensuring genuine participation, it is easy to imagine why many of the management plans produced in the past and even today may have included consultation with stakeholder groups, in the best of cases, but were very rarely prepared together with them, as should occur.

More than a hundred years have passed since the establishment of the first Namibian parks in 1907. It is truly impressive how conservation areas have grown then. Parks are vital tools for conserving Namibia’s essential biodiversity. By managing parks, we will leave the irreplaceable assets and the unlimited potential they posses to future generations. Parks also draw hundreds of thousands of tourists to Namibia. The international fascination with Namibia’s parks is growing annually and, as more visitors arrive, they generate employment and stimulate development, not just in the parks, but nationwide.

N/A
Daniellia (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae) is a genus of ten species of medium to large trees from tropical and subtropical Africa. In contrast to earlier accounts, D. mortehanii is treated here as a synonym of D. pynaertii , and D. oblonga , which previously has been treated by some authors as a synonym of D. thurifera , is accepted. In addition, we describe as new Daniellia glandulosa . Quantitative characters such as receptacle length, petiole width, sepal length, and largest leaflet length have been used to aid species differentiation following the results of recent morphometric studies that revealed their taxonomic utility.

N/A
Increased emphasis on sustainable resource management in forestry has effectuated a demand for various nontimber values. Nonconsumptive wildlife recreation is an important nontimber service produced on forest and rangeland. Travel cost models and data from the 1991 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation are used to estimate the demand and value for nonconsumptive wildlife-associated recreation in the United States. Resulting welfare measures are shown to be sensitive to assumptions about the cost of travel time, pecuniary costs, and functional form.

This manual outlines how cities can incorporate a focus on ecosystem services into city planning and management. By considering ecosystem services, cities have the opportunity to make some very positive changes, saving on municipal costs, boosting local economies, enhancing quality of life and securing livelihoods. The critical role that ecosystem services play in local economies is often taken for granted, and the TEEB approach can reveal the value of natural systems, highlighting opportunities and trade-offs between various policy options, planning proposals or infrastructure choices.

Worldwide, food production to feed the increasing population growth is still a big challenge, especially in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa where about 70% of the rural population depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Chemical and physical land degradation processes aggravate the declining crop production in these areas. Therefore, efficient use of water and nutrients is a priority to guarantee sustainable crop production and improve the rural livelihoods of poor rural farmers.

Economic and Environmental Benefits of Biodiversity
All ecosystems and human societies depend on a healthy and productive natural environment that contains diverse plant and animal species. The earth's biota is composed of an estimated 10 million species of plants, animals, and microbes (Pimm et al. 1995). In the United States, there are an estimated 750.000 species. of which small organisms, such as arthropods and microbes, make up 95%.' Although approximately 60% of the world's food supply comes from rice, wheat, and corn (Wilson 1988), as many as 20,000 other plant species have been used by humans as food.

The value of the world’s ecosystem services and natural capital
Costanza, R.
1997
NATURE
N/A
The services of ecological systems and the natural capital stocksthat produce them are critical to the functioning of the Earth’s life-support system. They contribute to human welfare, both directly and indirectly, and therefore represent part of the total economic value of the planet.We have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations. For the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16–54 trillion (1012) per year, with an average of US$33trillion per year. Because of the nature of the uncertainties, thismust be considered a minimum estimate.

N/A
The present paper has applied dichotomous choice survey design-contingent valuation method (CVM) to investigate empirically the willingness to pay (WTP) of the visitors for ecotourism resources in two selected marine parks in Peninsular Malaysia. Hence, the purpose of this research is to estimate the value of ecotourism resources by using environmental economic tools which focuses on contingent valuation method of WTP. It uses Logit and Probit models to estimate the visitor’s WTP responses for conservation the marine parks for ecotourism. The studies are based on a sample of 215 respondents in Pulau Redang and 153 respondents in Pulau Payar that were randomly interviewed for data collection for both islands in April-July 2007.

Valuing Time in Travel Cost Demand Analysis By Visitors to Blue Mesa Reservoir
Mckean, J.; Walsh, R. & Johnson, D.
1991
N/A
Opportunity time cost is usually a significant part of the price variable in the travel cost demand model (TCM). Thus, its accurate measurement is important to the estimation of demand and benefits evaluation for non market goods. In this paper we evaluate a technique derived by Ward (1983) to find the value of time implicit in a travel cost model. Monetary costs and time are entered as separate arguments to explain trips per year and, under certain conditions, the ratio of the partial effect of time cost to the partial effect of monetary cost reveals the implicit value of time. The often used technique of assuming an opportunity time cost on the basis of income is examined using the implicit time cost approach of McConnell and Strand.

Towards estimating total economic value of forests in Mexico
Adger, N. Et al.
1994
Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment, University of East Anglia amd University College London
N/A
Failure to account for the numerous functions and economic uses of forests have led to patterns of global forest use with many detrimental environmental consequences. This study demonstrates the economic techniques for estimating the Total Economic Value (TEV) of forests. For the Mexican forest estate, the results show an annual lower bound value of the services of the total forest area to be in the order of $4 billion. This aggregate value stems from the non-marketed services provided by non-consumptive use; from future potential uses of the genetic resources and from pure existence values; and the largest proportion of economic value coming from the functional values of hydrological and carbon cycling.

The Whole Economy of the Snohomish Basin: The Essential Economics of Ecosystem Services
Batker, D. Et al.
2010
N/A
This report presents an economic analysis of the Snohomish Basin economy to illuminate the critical links between natural capital and our economy’s health and resilience. Natural capital, such as a forest or a wetland, ensures a flow of local food and freshwater supply, flood protection and a host of other services without which the economy would be crippled. For example, most of the flood protection benefits within the Snohomish Basin are provided by natural systems such as upland forests and floodplains. Floodplains also provide a suite of ecosystem services including salmon nursery, water quality improvements, agricultural food production and recreation.

Coastal Capital Literature Review: Economic Valuation of Coastal and Marine Resources in Jamaica
World Resources Institute
2011
N/A
To help fill this information gap, several marine and coastal economic valuation studies have been conducted in Jamaica at both the national and local scales. Economic valuation—which assigns a monetary value to the goods and services provided by ecosystems—gives policy makers an important tool with which to set priorities and improve decision making regarding natural resources. Unfortunately, it became clear from many conversations with Jamaican partners that while quite a few marine and coastal economic valuation studies have been conducted in Jamaica, few of them have had an impact on decision making.

Working Paper. Washington, DC:
N/A
This study focused on the three main beach tourist destinations in Jamaica—Negril, Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios—which are all impacted by coral reef degradation and associated beach erosion (Map ES-1). An average current beach erosion rate of 0.3 m/yr was used for each of these beaches. We applied a model developed by Sheppard et al. (2007) to each of the three sites, to estimate how the further loss of live reef structure and the subsequent erosion of the reef substrate over 10 years would lead to increased wave heights and thus increased beach erosion.
