The scope of ecosystem degradation has made it clear that a more flexible, far-reaching approach is needed. Can the use of economic instruments be helpful in realizing this need? Recent studies have revealed several different types of economic-based instruments that could play a crucial role in improving environmental management. Some of these programs are exclusively designed to enhance ecosystem protection efforts while others represent the modifications of approaches usually used to achieve other environmental goals. This paper assesses the instruments that are available to landowners, policy makers, land managers and conservation organizations who want to improve environmental performance on a given piece of land.
