| Tiivistelmä: | It is asserted by economic theory that to achieve maximum (here as: max.) conservation benefits (as: c-bs.) land acquisition needs to be cost effective. Yet the most common planning technique used is 'benefit-targeting'. This study applies optimization techniques to achieve max. aggregate c-bs. For this case study, optimization yields additional c-bs. worth an estimated USD 3.13.9 million or achieves the same level of c-bs. but at a cost savings ranging from USD 0.9 to USD 3.5 million, depending on the initial budget size. |
