Natural resources

Outlines the needs for, and benefits of, economic valuation techniques as applied to wetlands and development projects intended to alter them, and describes some of these techniques in detail. A number of case studies, a glossary and a 10-pages bibliography increase the importance of this book for theoreticians and practical managers alike.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is widely recognised as one of Africa's longest-standing experiments in multiple land-use promoting both natural resource conservation and pastoral development in northern Tanzania. This book provides a case study of management in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and details the background studies and planning processes used to develop a conservation and development strategy as well as a general management plan for the area.

This paper focuses on the historical context for the ways that both temperate and tropical forests have been exploited over time, suggesting that forestry is a dynamic enterprise for all concerned.

This work makes a case for a broader concept of conservation, emphasizing its place within the development of regions and landscapes that include private and local activities as well as public and national. Focuses on conservation within integrated and community-based development planning.
