Wb. Karesh, COST EVALUATION OF INFECTIOUS-DISEASE MONITORING AND SCREENING PROGRAMS FOR WILDLIFE TRANSLOCATION AND REINTRODUCTION, Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine, 24(3), 1993, pp. 291-295
Little information is available on the actual costs incurred in identi
fying and monitoring the infectious disease status of wildlife intende
d for translocation and reintroduction. Accurate cost estimates of tra
nslocation and reintroduction programs are essential to make decisions
concerning planning and implementation processes. Postproject analysi
s of costs and effectiveness will provide the objective data needed by
organizations when planning similar projects or determining future fu
nding requirements. A simple, systematic, and comprehensive cost accou
nting method for projects is presented.
