A Comparison of User Benefits and Costs of Nature Conservation at Three Nature Reserves

Abstract

WILLIS K. G. and BENSON J. F. (1988) A comparison of user benefits and costs of nature conservation at three nature reserves, Reg. Studies 22, 417–228.

These benefits are compared to the costs of nature conservation, both the financial cost which is (or could be) incurred under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and also the social costs of the agricultural output forgone, after protective tariffs and subsidies of the Common Agricultural Policy have been removed.
