The report describes the changes that have taken place within conservation movements, in particular regarding their policies on protected areas. Emphasis in the document is on the social aspects of protected areas. National conservation policies and practises in Uganda served as a case study in order to compare overall conservation policies with the experiences of actual implementation of these policies in the field.

This report makes a positive contribution toward informing governments, agencies and NGOs of actions that need to be taken to reduce significantly the adverse conditions of future droughts. It suggests some immediate measures to consolidate and expand existing positive policy and local-level responses which resulted from the drought experience, By showing how to minimise damage and enhance benefits, this study makes an important contribution toward assisting all interested parties in the long journey toward achieving sustainability in sub-Saharan Africa.

The authors show how cost-benefit techniques can be applied to biodiversity and how they provide a measure of the efficiency of conservation techniques. Only if biodiversity conservation passes a basic economic test such as cost-benefit analysis is it likely to be incorporated into policy. Written with great clarity and accessibility, the book will be invaluable to policy-makers and others grappling with this subject, and is also a very suitable introdution and course-book for students of economics and environmental studies.
