Outline of Final Research Achievements

For biodiversity conservation, utilization of biodiversity is expanding rather than strengthening regulation. This reflects the statement of Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which is becoming more influential, so it is significant to consider the framework of use of biodiversity. On the other hand, a recent key concept for biodiversity conservation is Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). This study analyzed use and regulation of biodiversity in a various aspects of biodiversity conservation such as forest, coral reef, poaching, PES and economic incentives, mentioning to ecosystem services, in terms of theoretical and empirical approaches.
