Household location choices: implications for biodiversity conservation.
Successful conservation efforts require understanding human behaviors that directly affect biodiversity. Choice of household location represents an observable behavior that has direct effects on biodiversity conservation, but no one has examined the sociocultural predictors of this choice relative to its environmental impacts. We conducted a case study of the Teton Valley of Idaho and Wyoming (...
متن کاملTropical tree community shifts: Implications for wildlife conservation
In tropical forest systems tree community change after initial succession (approximately 50–100 years) is very difficult to detect because of the very slow pace of transformation. Since the mid 1980s, there has been an accumulation of evidence that many forests traditionally considered old growth or mature forests have been disturbed. Using 18 years of data on forest change in Kibale National P...
متن کاملForest and Tree Conservation Through Metaphysical Constraints
2002 57 Most people feel kindly disposed to, or even “love” trees, since they provide them with many directly useful resource products. Moreover, they are a habitat for desired fauna; protect watershed lands, streamsides, and springs from erosion; provide shade for humans and their animals; and are a source of aesthetic enjoyment. A utilitarian attitude often results in their being removed in o...

heritage-conservation project. impressive 50 feet (15 m). Its present truncated height is about 50 feet (15 m). Vancouver’s location at the southern edge of the coastal British Columbia rainforest has made it home to some of the world’s tallest trees, including two Douglas firs more than 400 feet tall, which were felled around 1900.3 Western red cedars grow stouter but less tall than Douglas fi...
متن کاملMore random or more deterministic choices? The effects of information on preferences for biodiversity conservation
For many years, stated preference researchers have been interested in the effects of information on willingness to pay for environmental goods. Within the random utility model, information about an environmental good might impact on preferences and on scale (error variance), both between and within samples of choices. In this paper, we extend the G‐MNL model to investigate the effects of differ...
