Using economic incentives for Biodiversity Conservation / Lucy Emerton

Incentive measures have long been used by governments to manipulate the ways in which
macro and sectoral economies work. It is however only relatively recently that they have
started to be applied to biodiversity conservation. An incentive for biodiversity
conservation can be defined asi: “A specific inducement designed and implemented to influence government
bodies, business, non-governmental organisations, or local people to conserve biological diversity or to use its
components in a sustainable manner. Incentive measures usually take the form of a new policy, law or economic or
social programme.”
