Abstract

Biodiversity brings many benefits to humans, including direct ones, such as the provision of food, shelter and clothing. Many of these products are traded in the market, and have a recognized economic value. Others are subsistence products, but critical to the livelihood needs of people living in rural areas of developing countries, such as wild foods and bush meat, products that normally fall outside conventional economic analysis. There are also indirect ecological benefits and non-consumptive uses such as recreation (Stocking et al. 1995).
