Abstract

The diagnosis of economic and financial activity on biodiversity conservation in protected areas is an important support for improving their management. By conducting this approach, we propose some criteria of classification and of characterization of activities, as well as, the informational and methodological support to assess the costs. The applicability of the proposals is exemplified for the Măcin Mountains area from Romania. So, in the absence of locally longer experience, cost evaluation of biodiversity conservation might be based in certain circumstances, on the transfer of information arising from alleged ongoing projects in the field of application of EU Directives and these projects could support the creation of a database that is so needed to assess the costs of biodiversity conservation.
