Context-Dependent Biodiversity Conservation Management Regimes: Theory and Simulation
构建了一个状态依赖的均衡保护管理设计模型,识别不同管理者的比较优势,以根据生物物理、经济和社会政治条件合理分配保护任务。
<i>Ecosystem degradation has motivated a search for successful conservation approaches. The perceived failure of state-directed protected areas in the tropics has prompted experimentation with community management and co-management strategies. Numerous case studies suggest that none of these are effective universally. There exists, however, little analytical or empirical work to identify under what conditions one arrangement will be more effective than another. This paper develops a model of state-dependent, equilibrium conservation management design that identifies the comparative advantage of different managers, in the interest of appropriately locating authority for conservation tasks as a function of prevailing biophysical, economic, and sociopolitical conditions.</i>
