Geography question?

Question

My friends are doing a past paper geography question, and we have no idea what to writel.
The question is:
Assess the arguments for and against using economic cost as the main criterion for funding conservation areas

Thanks!

Its A level, sorry

Answer 1

I suspect it's another way of asking you to think about COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.

Off the top of my head, the costs for such scemes might include routine management costs (wardens, conservationists, their wages, admin), costs of land purchase, cost of materials, construction & infrastructure (say of access roads, interpretation centres), etc. Also, the cost of "set-aside" schemes where farmers or landowners are subsidized tomanage the land in environmentally-responsible ways.

It's very hard to make a direct comparison with benefits. How do we measure benefits in economic terms? You might attempt to estimate how many visitors per year, and what they might spend when they get there. But most of us assign "value" to such places even if we don't visit (for example, we all "value" the rainforests, but most of us don't visit them!).

The bottom line is that it's difficult,but not impossible, to use economic cost alone as a criterion for conservation funding.

Answer 2

Well frnd let me tell you what i have understood from your question is that: you would like to know the economical factors which help in conserving areas and also factors that are against conserving areas?
Is it right?
Well this is the answer i can give you from waht i have understood.
Well frnd let me first tell you the positive points :
1. If the economic costs are funded for conserving and maintaining the areas it may cost them nothing but it may help them in future when the area becomes of real value.
2. The point i can say you against funding of economic costs for conserving areas is that we cannot assure that all the areas which are conserved can be of great us ein the future.
Some of the factors or arguments i can tell you are the value of the area, Quality of the area etc.,
Well my friend am not sure that am correct at my answer
but i hav written for what i have understood from your question.
Anyway i hope and I wish you all the very best in solving your geography paper and hope that you find answer for your question.

Answer 3

For your question:

Search for "cost and benefit analysis" that is basically what your paper is about. What the cost and benefit analysis does not take into account is the fact that new technologies could be developed, what effect the environment will have if (such and such) is removed, sometimes the costs are underestimated and so much more.
