The concept of biodiversity, its introduction in conservation biology, and its evolution in the framework of systematic conservation planning, are analyzed. Attempts to quantify biodiversity and to find surrogate measures for it are described. It is shown that biodiversity originated as and remains a fundamentally normative concept. However, while attempts to reduce biodiversity conservation to...

Independently owned nature reserves are proliferating across the developing world. Nevertheless, the conservation community knows practically nothing about them. This paper examines the economic, ecological, and social impacts of ecotourism, as evidenced at thirty-two of these reserves. Ecotourism is shown to be the primary means through which reserves survive financially. This reliance provide...

FOREWORD The impact of environmental weeds on the natural environment is an area that has been little studied in Australia. More often than not, impact is assumed rather than quantified. If the impact of environmental weeds on nature conservation values is not quantitatively assessed before a control program is begun, valuable resources can be wasted. For instance, how would it be possible to d...
