From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.
