“…The educational status of the respondents was not significant either for the Sinar donkey conservation program. This study is not in line with many studies where education plays a significant role in determining the willingness to pay (Baral et al 2008;Wang and Jia 2012;Hejazi et al 2014) who reported that those with a university level of education have a higher probability of willingness to pay than those with a non-university level of education. There was positive relationship between the level of education and the willingness of the visitors to pay for conservation…”

“…This study outcome showed the elasticity of gender to willingness to pay, revealing a higher probability of willingness of female respondents to pay for conservation than their male counterparts. The finding is not in line with the findings of Wang andJia (2012), andHejazi et al (2014) who found a positive relationship between male gender and WTP.…”

Abstract. Melak A, Belayhun T, Kefyalew E, Hailu A, Mustefa A, Assefa A. 2020. Farmers' willingness to pay for Sinar donkey conservation in selected districts of Metekel and Assosa zones, northwest Ethiopia: a contingent valuation study. Biodiversitas 21: 3373-3379. A survey was conducted through single field visits and interviews with 160 respondents in selected districts of Assosa and Metekel Zones, Northwestern Ethiopia, to elicit farmers' willingness to pay for Sinar donkey conservation. Two districts namely Guba and Sherkole were purposively selected from the zones based on the availability of Sinar donkey breeds. Eight representative kebeles were selected from the two districts. A total of 160 households (each district 80 households) were selected randomly. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires were prepared to collect data on socio-economic and farming system characteristics. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize data and average means were compared using SPSS version 23.0 software. Logistic regression was applied to see the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable. The contingent valuation method was used to know farmers' willingness to pay for conservation of the Sinar donkey breed. The average willingness to pay for the conservation was 98.25 Ethiopian Birr or 3.265US dollars for the conservation program per household per annum. The cash income of the respondents influenced the willingness to pay for the conservation program. This study supports the view that the economic valuation of donkey genetic resources can assist policymakers in setting conservation priorities.

“…Creating an equation that predicts the willingness to pay for the environmental good with reasonable explanatory variables, having coe cients with the expected signs provides the reason to suggest that the study has measured the desired construct (Carson, Flores, and Meade, 2001). The positive relationship between the level of education and the willingness of the visitors to pay for conservation in this study is in line with many studies where education plays a signi cant role in determining the willingness to pay (Baral et al 2008;Wang and Jia 2012;Hejazi, Shamsudin, and Rahim 2014) A comparison on relative frequency of visits made by visitors (Table 2) indicated that frequency of visits per month is comparatively more in visitors of willingness to pay category. Since the visitors were willing to frequently visit the park they were interested in willingness to pay more for the park.…”

The study has examined the willingness to pay for Jhansi fort in Uttar Pradesh. The study has utilized primary data collected from different commuters’ using random survey method. In order to analyze the willingness to pay for the park, binary logistic regression was used. The results of the study has indicated that the willingness to pay for the park was influenced positively and also significantly by monthly income and negatively by cost spent inside the park and occupation status of the visitors. Garrett ranking on suggestions for the betterment of park indicates that the visitors have given rank one for maintenance of the park, rank two for enhancing the facilities and rank three for safe drinking water

“…The most common stated preference for valuing ecosystem services is contingent valuation. For example, Hejazi et al (2013) determined that users of a freeway would pay $77 million annually (mean of $1.84 per household) to conserve natural resources along the route (primarily for esthetic value). Loomis et al (2000) used contingent valuation to determine that households living along the Platte River in Colorado would cumulatively contribute at least $19 million annually to restoration efforts.…”

Environmental flows represent a legal mechanism to balance existing and future water uses and sustain non-use values. Here, we identify current challenges, provide examples where they are important, and suggest research advances that would benefit environmental flow science. Specifically, environmental flow science would benefit by (1) developing approaches to address streamflow needs in highly modified landscapes where historic flows do not provide reasonable comparisons, (2) integrating water quality needs where interactions are apparent with quantity but not necessarily the proximate factor of the ecological degradation, especially as frequency and magnitudes of inflows to bays and estuaries, (3) providing a better understanding of the ecological needs of native species to offset the often unintended consequences of benefiting non-native species or their impact on flows, (4) improving our understanding of the non-use economic value to balance consumptive economic values, and (5) increasing our understanding of the stakeholder socioeconomic spatial distribution of attitudes and perceptions across the landscape. Environmental flow science is still an emerging interdisciplinary field and by integrating socioeconomic disciplines and developing new frameworks to accommodate our altered landscapes, we should help advance environmental flow science and likely increase successful implementation of flow standards.
