Abstract
The heightened interest in nature conservation on a worldwide scale and in individual countries and regions is occasioned not only by general social, biological, medical, and hygienic but by purely economic considerations as well. Ever increasing allocations for nature conservation are an objective necessity. The resolution of contradictions arising in the process between the economic interests of the present, which require the earliest possible return on investments, and nature conservation, the final results of which appear only in the distant future, obviously requires the reexamination of a number of traditional economic concepts, categories, and ideas.Keywords
