Conventional NeoclassicalEconomics
-Private Property-Economic Growth always good-Allocate based on price-More always better for an individual
(utility curves)

Ecological orEnvironmental Economics
=14-2 Miller 2003
Scavengers are key; we can’t really throw things away.
Return to pre-neoclassical ideas

Overwhelm?

What is the purpose of the economic system?-to what end all of this wealth? Ultimate value beyond market?
0-Classical Economics
1-Environmental Economics (catch-all term, think cyclically)
2-Steady-State Economics (John Stuart Mill 1700’s, Herman E. Daly)- in = out- ‘Virtue and character higher goals than material wealth.’
3-Sustainable Development (Lester Brown)- do away with many subsidies- replace income tax with environmental tax

Economic Growth vs. Development-efficiency, sophistication, utility
Nonrival (air to breathe) or nonexclusive goods (UV protection from ozone)
-Producer Pays/Polluter Pays-Dramatically less waste (packaging, scrubber sludge)
-Taxation/Subsidies-Pollution Rights-Precautionary Principle -Insurance
Government strategies and regulation-Stable, democratic government required?

ZimbabweCAMPFIRE Program
Communal Areas Management Program For Indigenous REsources
-aimed at creating worthwhile returns to villagers from the sustainable useof natural resources,-giving them income security and a stake in the preservation of the naturalenvironment and wildlife of their area.
Communal areas are divided into regions which have local committees and projects.
-Fees, Meat, Hides-up to $50k/week hunting-photosafaris etc.

Ecotourism ?-Highly Contentious
UN website:Masai in Eastern Africa and Masai Mara N.P. -lost grazing lands, lost rights -(native american analogy?)
Tourism works, but need many visitors -degradation -roads -infrastructure -sewage -deforestation for heating and cooking -corruption?

Ecosystem ManagementCh10 Van Dyke text
“...land management system that seeks protect viablepopulations of all native species, perpetuates naturaldisturbance regimes on the regional scale, adopts aplanning timeline of centuries, and allows human useat levels that do not result in long-term ecologicaldegradation”
Ecosystem:-energy and nutrient processing system with physicalstructure and function that circulates matter andenergy.
Definitions are debatable

Ecosystem Management (Ch10 Van Dyke text)
Why?-erosion, pollution, waste disposal, sedimentation-small or uncharismatic species, recreation, intrinsic value-single species approach very expensive
(SDCP model)
-driven by CAPACITY to deliver goods, services, functions;NOT Demand for them (forest as an ecosystem, not just a tree farm)
-management experimental and adaptive (SDCP)-monitoring
-cooperation, stakeholders
SKIPPED

“Managers recognize the need for human communities toutilize some ecosystem resources” (VanDyke p.272)
-Define “some”-Where do we draw the line?-Human population increase?
Unit of ecosystem management?-watershed?-make sure include important components (Everglades and Lake Okeechobee)
Ecosystem Processes: Necessary vs. Sufficient-Hawaii missing 90% native vertebrates-fire, water, herbivory, predation
