Like any other policy, an environmental policy has to compromise between different demands and expectations, many of which often in conflict with one other. Conservationists would like to protect natural habitats from economic development. On the other hand industrialists demand that protection measures do not hamper growth and do not impose excessive burdens on firms. Social critics are concerned with distributing environmental protection costs fairly between groups and strata. In this regard three notions are crucial: effectiveness; efficiency; equity.
