Reviews

'The books clear strengths are the number of different conservation cases considered, combined with the thoughtful presentation of current conservation policy agendas and environmental economic issues. The natural science references, the conservation policy, practice, and sustainable use information are up-to-date in the different cases discussed. Clearly, Tisdell has taken care to talk with people involved in these actions and to ensure that current policies are reflected upon, given the scientific results he presents. As such, the book is well suited for having a policy impact.' -- Jellesmark Thorsen, Ecology 'This book provides important insights into wildlife conservation issues in Australia, and the extent to which the public is willing to pay for species conservation. In doing so, the book goes beyond the boundaries of the economics discipline, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to biodiversity conservation that integrates ecological and sociological factors. This book makes an important contribution to advancing knowledge about the influence of social, economic and psychological factors on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in Australia.' -- Australian Journal of Agricultural & Resource Economics
