| Abstract: | This paper estimates the opportunity costs of biodiversity conservation in Kenya from the potential net returns of agricultural and livestock production, and compares them with the net returns from tourism, forestry and other conservation activities. The government of Kenya is clearly subsidising conservation activities whose chief values are all indirect and external to kenya, and their ability to continue doing so will be a function of growth and modernisation in the Kenyan economy. |
