Why biodiversity surveys are good value

Article Abstract:

Research into the economic value of biodiversity surveys indicates that high quality biodiversity inventories can play a significant role in assisting government agencies and non-governmental organizations in selecting protected areas. Failure to use such inventories can mean that representative reserve systems are larger than necessary and thus make conservation goals harder to reach. However, the widespread use of extremely detailed and costly biodiversity surveys is not appropriate.
