Incentives for Biodiversity Conservation Beyond the Best Management Practices: Are Forestland Owners Interested?
研究了私有林地所有者是否愿意参与超出现有最佳管理实践要求的保护项目，发现项目属性和所有者特征显著影响参与意愿，平均需支付每公顷每年95.54美元才能激励参与。
With the growing recognition of the role of environmental services rendered by private lands, landowner involvement has become a critical component of landscape-level strategies to conserve biodiversity. In this paper, we examine the willingness of private forest owners to participate in a conservation program that requires adopting management regimes beyond the existing regulations for silvicultural best management practices. Results from a multinomial logit model indicate both program attributes and landowner characteristics significantly influencing participation. While the mean incentive payment necessary to induce participation is $95.54 per ha per year, this amount varied among respondents with different forest ownership objectives. <i></i>
