The Study Of Application And Estimation On Wildlife Resources Value In China

Wildlife resources are always the improtant materimal resources of human society development They not only provide the basal foods and clothe for the early people, but also offer the source of crops, livestock and poulty which are the foods that keep the human being living forever. The using of wildlife resources are related with many industries, such as foods, traditional Chinese medicine, special leather, national music instrument, craftwork manufacture and so on. However the number of wildlife resources in China has showed the trend of discending due to ignoration of the value of wildlife resources in the long term, and the speed of discending is accelerating. So the status of wildlife resources is pessimistic. The dissertation focuses on the wildlife value classification. The purpose of the paper is to design the methods of estimation of value, estimation index and index calculate formulas. It can not only einforce the conscious of wildlife resources protection, but also provide theory basement of realizing resources configurement properly and compensating wildlife resources.The dissertation has 7 chapters. Chapter one offers a general picture of the research, including an introduction, an overview of the background of the study, the purpose, meaning and content of the paper, and the methodology used in the research. Chapter Two covers the areas of the study concerning the core concepts and definitions, summarizes the results of the previous researches, which lays a solid foundation for the paper. Chapter Three outlines the status of wildlife resources in China to construct the system of value classification, to reveal the meaning of each value, and expain the necessity and steps of choosing leading values. Chapter Four designs the estimation methods of wildlife value and constructs methods system to lay the foundation for an in-depth study. Chapter Five constructs the index system wildlife estimation combining methods in chapter 4. Chapter Six, on the basis of sample data, chooses two typical species to calculate their value. Chapter Seven is a summary of the research findings of the paper, which puts forward some policy recommendations and makes clear the innovative points, troublesome problems, and future prospects of the study.As for the research methodology, the study uses for reference the mainstream approach to and the edge in resources estimation research methods. On the one hand, it adopts qualitative research methods to illustrate the system of wildlife value classification systematicly and detailedly; On the other hand, it uses the models to design the estimation methods and formula of wildlife; In addition, the research extensively uses the quatitive research methods to calculate value of the two typical species.The major results of the study are (1) having conducted an fairly comprehensive survey on the estimation on wildlife resources value, including research on value classification, estimation method system and estimation index system; (2) having systematically and detailedly revealed the meaning of wildlife value; (3) having pioneered in constructing a system of estimation method; (4) having for the first time and fairly systematically proposed a system of wildlife value estimation index, illustrated specific caculate formula, and designed estimation methods of some wildlife values which are difficult to quantify, such as image value, cultural and aesthetic value, educational value; (5) having caculated the leading value of giant pandas and wild boar .All this indicates that the research has developed a new approach in the similar studies in China.
