Sustainable use of biodiversity is measured under the headings — ‘Direct-use value’, ‘Indirect-use value’ and ‘Non-use value’. Direct-use value includes food, medicine, biological control, industrial materials, recreational harvesting and ecotourism. Indirect-use value deals with biodiversity and ecosystem functions for maintenance of soundness of environment as a whole. Non-use value provides options value, bequest value, existence value and intrinsic value. The entire volume has rich quality of papers that could act as referral to take up further action strategies and research initiatives on the conservation process for biodiversity. The attempt of the editors in this endeavour has been to offer a conceptual and research foundation to those who are motivated to take up further action on the area of biodiversity conservation and awareness campaign.
