Abstract: The National Park Service (NPS) is authorized by the System Unit Resource Protection Act (54 U.S.C. 100721) to collect information that can be used to determine the economic value associated with the preservation (avoided loss) of individual members of a wildlife species population. The NPS Environmental Quality Division is requesting approval to conduct a survey to provide estimates of the full value of protecting individual animals from intentional or accidental loss. These value estimates are not currently available to the NPS and are necessary for park management decisions.
