Leaving apart human and social capital for a destiny quantity, the booklet may be considered as an important first step in constructing symptoms for overall wealth within the international locations coated by means of the case experiences, which come with Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mozambique and South Africa. those case stories test with enforcing the SEAA in sub-Saharan international locations recognized to be afflicted by the ‘resource curse’: their wealth in assets and commodities has allowed inflows of liquidity, but this funds has now not funded the most important advancements in infrastructure or schooling. What’s extra, resource-driven economies are hugely susceptible to commodity expense mutability. the hot measures of wealth deployed the following provide extra wish for the long run in those international locations than they themselves might as soon as have allowed for.

But the decline in total natural capital soon continued due to the continued decline in mineral assets and volatility of fish asset value. Physical depletion of all minerals compounded by declining real rents for diamonds and uranium caused mineral assets to lose more than half their value in the first 5 years after independence. The decline in real rent is not surprising. The global market for uranium was not good at that time. Diamonds, the most valuable mineral, have been mined since the beginning of the twentieth century.
Here, the value of the stock, as a national capital asset, is measured in terms of its potential to generate resource rent (also known as economic rent or excess profit) in the future. Wildlife as a resource is a complex entity, embracing all wild animal life, both vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish) and invertebrates. Wildlife, thus defined, has featured in resource accounts for fish (most wild aquatic organisms of economic value) and forests (non-timber forest products include some forestdwelling invertebrates), and it forms part of the asset base for the tourism sector.
Flow accounts measure use in terms of output, contribution to gross national product (GNP) and employment, in conformity with the SNA. The valuation of renewable natural resource assets such as forests, fish and wildlife can be done in several ways (UN 2000; UN et al. 2003). The most appropriate of these is the net present value method, which estimates the present value of all future returns in resource rent from the use of the resources. For the wildlife asset accounts, we applied the net present value method, using streams of rents from expected growth in use over the next 30 years.
