Sažetak
This book addresses the gap in valuation. It is the first effort to estimate the total economicvalue (TEV) of forests on a large scale in the Mediterranean region. Previous efforts have focused almost exclusively on estimating the value of individual forest benefits, often at a specific site: hydrological services (see Bruijnzeel and Bremmer, 1989 ; Aylward et al., 1998 ; Bruijnzeel, 2004) ; option uses - pharmaceutical (see Simpson et al., 1994 ; Barbier et al., 1995 ; Mendelhson and Balick, 1995 ; Pearce and Puroshothaman, 1995) ; and other extractive or non-extractive values of NWFPs (see Ruitenbeek, 1989 ; Godoy et al., 1993 ; Grimes et al., 1994 ; Lampietti and Dixon, 1995 ; De Beer and McDermott, 1996). Few have attempted to estimate the benefits of a nation`s forests as a whole (see Adger et al., 1995 ; Willis et al., 2003). This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic value od Mediterranean forests, including not just commonly measured benefits such as timber but also, more importantly, the public goods and externalities they provide. Uniquely, it brings together forest valuations at the national level from 18 Mediterranean countries, based on extensive data collection by local experts. It uses a coherent analytical framework for collecting these valuations in a consistent way ; it analyses these estimates from per-country and cross-country perspective ; and it uses these results to propose policy recommendations to be undertaken locally, within individual countries and across countries.
