Abstract
The debate on valuing the environment moved to the fore in Britain in the late 1980s, principally as the result of the interaction of two factors: growing party political competition on the environment; and difficulties the Conservative Government were experiencing in defining a distinct neo‐liberal agenda for the environment. Despite its technocratic overtones, valuing the environment has thus become part of a broader political debate. Moreover, there are a number of radical implications for decision making and the role of conservation organizations which flow from an adoption of valuation practices and we seek to identify these as well.
