Conservative valuation

The main objective of the study is to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for conserving the Le Quy Don park in Thai Binh city, Thai Binh Province, Vietnam. In doing so, contingent valuation method is applied. A survey of 128 households by face-to-face interview using questionnaire was conducted in Thai Binh city.

Mangrove ecosystems provide a wide range of both direct and indirect use values to coastal communities in developing countries. The full value of mangrove products and services is not yet recognized and is therefore often ignored in development planning. As a result, decisions are made which favour commercial developments over mangrove conservation. The direct use value for U Minh Ha mangrove forest is not well understood but is considered to be high and important to about 80% of the local people in the area.

Restoration and conservation of heritage brings to many values: culture, aesthetics, education, environment, society, history as well as many other values. One of the most mentioned values in recent year is the economic value. This paper examines the economic value of restoring and preserving heritage ecosystems from an approach that valuates the economic value of natural ecosystems and offers some suggestions for valuation process of economic value of the Ham Rong - Nui Do heritage ecosystem.

This paper presents the study on valuation of non use values of the Can Gio mangrove biosphere reserve, Ho Chi Minh City. The results show that the non use value of the study area is approximately VND 105 billion per year. The paper also shows the recommendations for managers, policy-makers and researchers in the conservation and sustainable use of resources’s Can Gio mangrove ecosystem in the context of climate change and sea level rise.

This study was applied to the contingent valuation method to estimate the conservative values of twenty volcanic landscapes in the Pleiku plateau. The results indicated that Bien Ho volcanic landscape got the highest traditional value with above 38.60 billion VND. Subsequently, the conservative value of Chu Dang Ya was 27.28 billion VND. The value of the Phu Cuong waterfall was also estimated quite highly.

One of the most important reasons for loss of biodiversity, is that conservation and sustainable use of natural resources is generally not a viable financial option, and this is because of a combination of market and policy failures. Put simply, natural resources are under- valued because no account is taken of the time it takes to produce the next harvest, nor any costs involved in managing lands for future harvests, nor the environmental and social costs associated with loss of products.

As shown in Table 2, the area of agricultural land worldwide is larger than that of forests (FAOSTAT Resources 2009). Furthermore, non-wood fibres usually have high annual biomass yields per hectare which are equal or superior to that of woods (Pierce 1991). Approximately 30% of the forest area is used primarily for the production of wood. An additional 24% of the forest area is designated for multiple uses, which also includes the production of wood in most cases (FAO 2010).

This study was launched as a response to the challenges, presented in the Forest Action Plan and implementation of the key action for valuation and compensation for non-market forest goods and services. The study aims to acquire summarised information on the state-of the-art in classification, characterisation and valuation of non-market forest goods and services.

We thank the University of Washington Department of Economics for sponsoring ‘Frontiers in Natural Resource and Environmental Economics’, a conference in honor of Gardner M. Brown, Jr., that led to this book. In particular, we thank Richard Parks for his efforts in planning a wonderful event and helping to lay the foundation for this book; Neil Bruce, who sup- ported and encouraged us to plan a conference worthy of Gardner’s career; and Gary Waterman who helped to make the event, and in turn this book, a reality.

Conserving biodiversity and the ecosystem services that they provide is part of the larger objective of promoting human well-being and sustainable development. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) 2005 has brought about a fundamental change in the way that scientists perceive the role and value of biodiversity, and recognizes the dynamics and linkages between people, biodiversity and ecosystems. Human activities have direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems, which in turn affects the ecosystems services that they provide, and ultimately human well-being.

Yet recent authors have noted that the MA ecosystem services classification does not lend itself well to economic decision-making (Hein and van Ierland 2006; Boyd and Banzhaf 2007; Wallace 2007). This is because the MA categories do not explicitly link specific benefits to specific human beneficiaries of ecosystem services.
