Mapping of Forest Biodiversity Values: A Plural Perspective
Nunes, Paulo A.L.D.; Ojea, Elena; Loureiro, Maria - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is built on a conceptual framework that links biodiversity to the services ecosystems provide to society. Based on this framework, we first compile market and non-market forest valuation studies and, secondly, explore the potential of an econometric modeling...

Bosques en Bolivia: Una estimación espacial de los costos de la deforestación
Gonzalez Rocabado, Alejandra - 2019
Deforestation in Bolivia has increased considerably during the last few decades, which causes carbon dioxide emissions, biodiversity loss, changes to the hydrologic cycle, among others. This study pretends to estimate the impacts and costs of that deforestation. Since each variablehas its own...

Communications on climate change and biodiversity loss with local populations: Exploring best-practices and postcolonial moments in eight case studies from across the globe
Ansari, Dawud; Schönenberg, Regine; Abud, Melissa; … - 2021
Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies worldwide, many of which target or impact local communities. Although research, international development, and policy implementation (and, thus, success in fighting both threats) require thoughtful consideration and communication of the...

Biodiversity conservation, loss of natural capital and interest rates
Tisdell, Clem - In: Ecological Economics 70 (2011) 12, pp. 2511-2515
It is argued that there is neither regular relationship between changes in the level of the market rate of interest and variations in the rate of biodiversity loss nor does such a regular relationship occur between alterations in the market rate of interest and changes in the rate of natural...
