Determining non-consumptive uses is now the biggest challenge. Sports fishing an fur trapping are more difficult to evaluate than other wildlife rsources. A summary of the research to the present shows that, with the aid of modern economics theories, acceptable wildlife valuations can be obtained for use in determining land use policies.
