Description
The true economic value of protected areas, including national parks (such as the Lake District), scientific reserves, wildlife sanctuaries and natural monuments and landmarks, is often difficult to measure. They may be the repositories of unique or very valuable natural assets, yet the short-term gains from exploiting their natural resources can often appear more attractive than the long-term benefits of husbandry and conservation.
