To conserve biodiversity, South Korean government signed the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1994 and established the 3rd national biodiversity strategies in 2014. Part of the strategy is the implementation of regulation policies that designated protected areas and protected species such as endangered species. These policies can be supported by people's evaluation of biodiversity conservation. However, economic value of biodiversity can be influenced by social conditions such as institutions and regimes as well as ecological conditions such as ecosystem type. In this study, the researchers aim to analyse the economic value of biodiversity in Korea with respect to social and ecological conditions using meta-analysis. Data was collected by searching keywords related to biodiversity on Research Information Service System (RISS) and National Discovery for Science Library (NDSL) database from 1990 to 2017. After data screening, 31 researches were included in data analysis. Number of researches on biodiversity increased since the Nagoya Protocol in 2010. Result indicates that biodiversity value of urban ecosystem and cultivated land tends to be higher than that of natural ecosystems including river, forest, wetland and ocean.
