Spencer Banzhaf: John Krutilla, a pioneer in environmental economics, helped to shape the field as an expert at Resources for the Future (RFF) in the mid-twentieth century. The conservation camp, represented by its champion Gifford Pinchot (1865–1946), advocated conservation of natural resources to be used for human purposes, using a progressive model of rational government planning.

The entries in this book highlight areas where market-based economic models are inadequate and need to be supplemented to protect our natural resources. Entries that address valuation models require additional resources for readers who want a working background in these methods. From Booklist : Arguably, our adherence to the free-market model of economics has been among the major factors that have contributed to environmental deterioration.

Walls and fences can disrupt migratory patterns, access to food resources, breeding diversity, and proper population control. Often we forget the impact our political gestures have on wildlife. There have been many examples throughout history. One such example is the rabbit populations that lived predator free within the Berlin Wall. By living between the two sides of the Berlin wall, the rabbit population was protected from outside predators and populations grew exponentially.

It was a simple idea: use revenues from the depletion of one natural resource – offshore oil and gas – to support the conservation of another precious resource – our land and water.
