The Qinling Nature Reserve Group plays an important role in biodiversity conservation in China.Based on the definition of the concept and analysis of the meaning of the Qinling Nature Reserve Group,experts’ advice and document investigation were used.An index system of economic measurement of the Qinling Nature Reserve Group was built.The market value method,equivalent substitution method,and opportunity cost method were used in economic measurement and analyzing economic benefits of biological diversity protection in the Qinling Nature Reserve Group.Results showed that the Qinling Nature Reserve Group has enormous economic benefits due to biological diversity conservation,with showing the total economic benefits of about 31.453 billion Yuan consisting of inside benefits of 21.074 billion Yuan,outside benefits of about 10.378 billion Yuan,and direct and indirect benefits closely related to the residents’ living of about 7.530 billion Yuan and 2.848 billion Yuan,respectively.The indicators and measurement methods of the study can provide reference for the Qinling Nature Reserve Group and other similar groups in measurement and evaluation of economic benefits.It should be noted that the preservation value of rare species can be counted as ecological value or counted as economic value.This study only measures the preservation value of rare species as a part of economic indicators to express that the existence of rare species pertains to economic value,which can be a part of economic benefit.The economic value of the protected areas was also evaluated so as to reflect that the Qinling Nature Reserve Group brings the rural community interests by biodiversity conservation.This study attempts to build a Qinling Nature Reserve Group economic measurement index system and an econometric system by explaining the economic meaning of the Qinling Nature Reserves Group,and then to reveal the direct or indirect impact of biological diversity conservation on regional economic development,which would help the government formul
