- the importance of biodiversity conservation for sustainable development and for the stability and sustainability of ecological systems
- the impact of economic globalization and market systems on the conservation of nature
- priorities for the financial support of protected areas
- the extent to which ecotourism can be harnessed to reconcile economic utilisation of an area with nature conservation
- the costs and benefits of conservation
