“…These categories had also been represented in subcategories. In this analysis, by using economic value approach, group comparison, ecological value and socio-cultural value approaches developed by adopting from Costanza et al (1997), Nunes et al (2000), De Groot et al (2002), De Groot (2006, quantitative and qualitative value analyses of snowdrops' production, goods and services had been made (Table 1). …”

“…In economic value approach, the market price method, the production function income method and the method of protection cost of snowdrop had been considered (Costanza et al 1997, Nunes et al 2000, De Grood et al 2002. In group comparisons, the data obtained from similar studies carried out else where had been used.…”

The economic value analysis has been carried out by detecting the production, good and service value functions of Galanthus sp. in Turkey. In the analyses, economical valuation techniques, group comparisons, ecological and socio-cultural valuation criteria had been used. Total flow value for goods and service functions of Galanthus sp. had been calculated as $68/year/unit per Galanthus sp. and the potential flow rate per Galanthus sp. had been estimated at $137/year. The total value of Galanthus sp. had been calculated as $544,000,000/year for annual export of 8 million Galanthus. When the positive added value, which was included in ecological and sociological processes and created by non-pecuniary values and the wealth and heritage value were added, it was easily seen that the economic value of the Galanthus was considerably high. Moreover, it had been determined that especially, the medical source value ($23/year) was a crucial factor among this value.

“…Within biodiversity conservation, there is a long tradition of ecologically-oriented valuation. Nunes et al (2001), for example, discuss the use of various biodiversity and ecological indicators under the headings of biological richness and ecosystem health or integrity. In the biological richness approach, genetic, species, and community diversity are measured.…”

“…Economic valuation should never be applied as a single basis for decision making (Brown and Moran 1993) and achieving sustainable solutions requires integrated assessment of ecological, social and economic systems and negotiation among stakeholders taking into account a wider range of objectives than economic eYciency (Bulte et al 2005;Constanza and Folke 1997;Nunes et al 2001;Turner et al 1999). Economic valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services is, however, an essential element in making conservation eVorts Wnancially sustainable over longer periods of time as it stimulates the perceived need for investing in conservation, be it through the establishment and management of protected areas, through traditional economic instruments such as taxation, license fees, etc.…”

These proceedings present the background and objectives of the ReNED conference entitled "Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity in Developing Countries" held in August 2005, and provide an overview of the papers presented and the discussions and conclusions of the conference.The topic of the conference was suggested by a group of ReNED members. ReNED would like to thank the organising committee, which took up the challenge and hard work of developing a full conference proposal and organising the conference: Elmer Topp-Jørgensen, NORDECO; Gabor Lövei, Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences; Helle Munk Ravnborg, Danish Institute of International Studies; Ivan Nielsen, Department of Biology, University of Aarhus; Michael Køie Poulsen, NORDECO; Niels Elmegaard, National Environmental Research Institute; Sten Struwe, Institute of Biology, University of Copenhagen; Thomas Kristensen, DBL -Institute for Health Research and Development.We are also grateful to the speakers, who contributed with stimulating presentations leading to a successful and productive meeting. We would also like to thank Cecil Konijnendijk for preparing a thorough review paper on the issue as well as the chair persons of plenary sessions and chairs and rapporteurs of the working groups, as well as all participants for their comments and questions, not least in the working group sessions. Table of ...34Relationships between institutions and regulation, markets and use of biodiversity. IntroductionThe overall objective of this second ReNED conference was to contribute to the achievement of the following ReNED objectives:• Increased interaction between researchers and practitioners and ensuring an improved level of information for the Danish environmental assistance in terms of knowledge and the latest research as well as more efficient coordination of information exchange • Strengthening of the contact to relevant international and regional research institutions, the private sector and NGOsThematically, the aim of the conference was to contribute to the understanding of the importance of biodiversity in terms of maintaining or developing ecosystems services such as fisheries, forest products, genetic resources for agriculture, pollination of crops and fruit trees, carbon sequestration in soils, water, human health, and eco-tourism. The conference addressed five key concerns:1. The importance of biodiversity for maintaining the quality and quantity of ecosystem services 2. The value of biodiversity in relation to ecosystem services. To whom is this value important? 3. Sustainable financing mechanisms and community based management systems. Which types of payments are appropriate in terms of institutional set-ups, the role of local population, etc, and what are the needs for support? 4. Biodiversity and ecosystem service monitoring. How can appropriate monitoring systems be designed in order to ensure sustainability of the system and the desired impact on the biodiversity and people? 5. How do we develop and maintain institutional capacity and go...
