Economic Oasis

Learn more about the economic values of the ecologically and culturally rich California desert lands in this new report and case study.

Through projects and reports, the Defenders identifies and estimates economic values associated with biodiversity and habitat conservation. This valuation element also includes determining the benefits associated with maintaining ecosystem services, including wildlife services.

Defenders maintains a “living” bibliography of economic valuation studies, papers, and journal articles to serve as a resource for researchers and policy makers, as well as for our staff to remain current with the latest theoretical and applied economic analyses.
