“…For example, Cox (1983) and Sellars (1983) criticized the generalized nature of the argument and pointed out that many American national parks had known economic values when dedicated and remain intact despite contemporary cash value. However, Ufley (1983) and Winks (1983) sought to qualify, rather than rebut, the notion of worthlessness, conceding that a relative lack of apparent economic importance was behind many park dedications. Henderson (1992) considered that Runte's thesis has become less valid as valuations of nature in the United States have risen faster than those of many developmental uses.…”

“…These have been major reasons for reservation in the United States (Runte 1977(Runte , 1979Cox 1983;Noss & Harris 1986;Franklin 1993). Winks (1983) concluded that "the representative is seldom preserved" after quoting from Steinbeck (1962) who wrote, "It is my opinion that we enclose and celebrate the freaks of our nation and of our civilization. Yellowstone National Park is no more representative of America than Disneyland."…”

A major reason for land reservation has been the relative lack of value of selected sites for major commercial land uses or for human habitatiorL Other important masons include scenery, recreation, tourist potentlag the influence of lobby group~ and historical protection for uses such as hunting or water supply. There are two main disadvantages of such ad hoc approaches to reserve planning. One is the bias in the content of regional reserve system,g leaving some specieg communities, or ecosystems without protection, often the ones most in need of strict reservatiorL The second is that ad hoc reservations can make the goal of representing regional biodivemi~y more expensiv~ reducing the likelihood of protecting many elements of biodiversity. Ad hoc approaches to reservation persist despite clearly stated rep. resentation goal~ improving data bases, and systematic techniques for reserve selectior~ The main causes need to he understood and addressed if the potential value of reservation for protecting biodiversity is to be realized, Reservaciones ad hoc: pasos adelante o atrfis en el desarrollo de sistemas de reservas representativos?Resumen: La prtncipal raz6n para la reservactbn de tierras ha sido la falta relativa del valor de los sitios selecctonados para usos comerclales o habttactonales para el hombre. Otras razones importantes tncluyen el panorama patsaflsrico, la recreaci6n, el turlsmo potencia~ la influencta de grupos de lobby y la proteccibn hist6rica para usos tales como caza o provtsibn de agua ExisWn dos desventajas mayores de estas formas ad hoc de planiflcaci(m de reserva~ Una es el sesgo dentro del sistema regional de reserva,~ dejando ciertas especieg comuntdades o ecosistemas sin pro-tecci6n, muy a menudo aquellas con mayor necestdad de reservas estricta~ La segunda es que las reservas ad hoc hacen que el objetivo de representar la biodiverstdad regional sea m~ costoso, reduciendo la posibilidad de proteger muchos elementos de la btodivemtda~L Los enfoques ad hoc de reservar perststen a pesar de objettvos de representa. ttvidad claramente delineadog el mejoramiento de las bases de datos y las t&cntcas sistern~ttcas para la selecct6n de reser-va£ Las cau, as principales deben ser entendtda$ y cons# derada$ st se quiere lograr el valor potencial de reservar y proteger la biodiver$idad`
