新西兰和许多其他国家一样，受到外来动植物物种的侵袭、破坏或取代本地物种的困扰。每年都要花费大量的纳税人资金试图与这些入侵物种作斗争，并对各种保护活动的“成本效益”和效率进行了一些研究。对生物多样性保护项目的成本效益的研究由于缺乏令人满意的产出衡量标准而受到阻碍。提出了一种新的产出测度--保护产出保护年（COPY），用于生物多样性保护项目的成本效用评价。本文概述了这种方法，并报告使用COPY在新西兰的六个生物多样性保护项目的评价。该文件表明，COPY提供了一个实用的产出措施，并报告了每一美元花费在每个生物多样性保护项目的比较产出。
New Zealand, like many other countries, is troubled by introduced animal and plant species which attack, damage, or displace indigenous species. Considerable amounts of taxpayer funds are spent each year attempting to combat these invasive species and some research has been conducted into the "cost effectiveness" and the efficiency of various conservation activities. Research into the cost effectiveness of biodiversity protection projects is hindered by the absence of satisfactory measures of output. A new output measure, Conservation Output Protection Years (COPY) is proposed for use in a cost utility evaluation of biodiversity protection projects. This paper outlines this approach and reports on the use of COPY in evaluation of six New Zealand biodiversity protection projects. The paper demonstrates that COPY provides a practical output measure, and reports on the comparative output per dollar spent on each biodiversity protection project.
