Title: Biodiversity, Natural Resource Accounting and Ecological Monitoring
Abstract: There is a widespread view that modified measures of national income would be an important policy instrument for the pursuit of sustainability and, particularly, for the protection of biodiversity. A Global Biodiversity Strategy, for example, calls for national initiatives: ‘To adopt new public policies and accounting methods that promote conservation and the equitable use of biodiversity’, citing as a means to these ends the modification of: ‘national income accounts to make them reflect the economic loss that results when biological resources are degraded and biodiversity is lost’ [World Resources Institute et al., 1992].
