Developing a Bio Economic Model for Freydoonkenar Wetland Management

In this study, a bio economic model is used to estimate social optimization of the high hunting of migratory birds in Freydunkenar wetland. According to the results of the bio economic model, calculating optimal hunting level considering amenity values, result in higher optimal number of wetlands and birds than the usual values. However by increasing the cost of preparing wetlands, these values are reduced. Reducing the cost of maintenance and restoration of wetlands increases the optimum value of all variables significantly. The results of the above model show that when the value of ecosystem services in wetlands and other compatible values are taken into account in calculations, the optimal social value of wetlands increases.
