The economic evaluation of the biodiversity consists in on the one hand defining the values attached to the Biodiversité, and on the other hand relates to the techniques available to measure the definite values.

The main aim of this evaluation is to bring most objective possible data elements on which will be able to be based the public and private decisions

  • of distribution and appropriation of the biodiversity and associated richnesses and
  • of definition of financial means to devote to the protection of the biodiversity

The majority of the economists stress that the Biodiversité does not have a price what leads the individuals to act as if it did not have a value. The economic agents tend not to take into account the biodiversity in their calculations; thus, certain decisions involve bad allowances of the Ressource S (destruction or little justified conservation) and have an negative impact on the collective Bien-être.

Decision makings require to give a price to the biodiversity, which supposes on the one hand to determine the various types of value that the biodiversity can cover, then to define methods likely to measure this biodiversity. Work undertaken to evaluate this biodiversity always does not follow this step (concept and methods) because very often the evaluations are made by naturalists and not by economists.

Currently, the undertaken sectoral studies relate to

  • the products of the Extractivisme (see Development and conservation of the tropical forests)
  • the pharmaceutical plants
  • the ecotourism
  • the price to be paid for the services rendered to humanity by the ecosystem S of the planet

Generally, which is evaluated in these studies are the Ressource S and not the ecological function that the Biodiversité ensures.
