“…These represent instances of payment vehicles that should encourage importance but only affect present or potential users of the recreational sites. In Burkina Faso, a financial incentive was proposed in a study dealing with the ecosystem services program to control forest (Diendéré & Kaboré 2023). There are few studies that have used a payment method such as the charge on water services in Malaysia (Yacob et al 2011).…”

The objective of the study is to test whether the subsidy reduction of daily consumer goods as a payment vehicle can influence individuals' willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental and nature conservation. Specifically, it assessed the impact of price sensitivity on the willingness to conserve wetlands, using the subsidy reduction approach. Malaysia's Setiu Wetland (SW) served as a case study to gauge respondents' preferences to trade-off the benefits of subsidy with conservation of natural resources. The welfare economic concept of WTP was applied to estimate the economic value of SW with the application of choice experiment method. Analysis using the Random Parameter Logit model showed that respondent's WTP for conserving SW, through subsidies reduction, amount to RM120.59 annually. The price sensitivity in the model is high, suggesting that respondents are greatly concerned about the monetary attribute. This further implies that subsidy reduction can be a most consequential and coercive payment for Stated Preference studies. Thorough assessment of the payment structure is crucial for the quality of environmental value research in developing economies when conventional methods may not be ideal. It is recommended that policymakers consider other alternatives as payment vehicles for environmental conservation to ensure broader support for conservation initiatives.

Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are widely applied incentive‐based instruments with diverse objectives that increasingly include biodiversity conservation. Yet, there is a gap in understanding of how to best assess and monitor programs’ biodiversity outcomes. We examined perceptions and drivers of engagement related to biodiversity monitoring through surveys among current PES participants in 7 communities in Mexico's Selva Lacandona. We conducted workshops among survey participants that included training and field deployment of tools used to monitor biodiversity and land cover, including visual transects, camera traps, acoustic recorders, and forest cover satellite images. We conducted pre‐ and postworkshop surveys in each community to evaluate changes in respondents’ perceptions following exposure to biodiversity monitoring training and related field activities. We also reviewed existing research on participatory environmental management and monitoring approaches. One quarter of current PES participants in the study area participated in our surveys and workshops. The majority stated interest in engaging in diverse activities related to the procedural aspects of biodiversity monitoring (e.g., planning, field data collection, results dissemination) and acknowledged multiple benefits of introducing biodiversity monitoring into PES (e.g., knowledge and capacity building, improved natural resource management, and greater support for conservation). Household economic reliance on PES was positively associated with willingness to engage in monitoring. Technical expertise, time, and monetary constraints were deterrents. Respondents were most interested in monitoring mammals, birds, and plants and using visual transects, camera traps, and forest cover satellite images. Exposure to monitoring enhanced subsequent interest in monitoring by providing respondents with new insights from their communities related to deforestation and species’ abundance and diversity. Respondents identified key strengths and weaknesses of applying different monitoring tools, which suggests that deploying multiple tools simultaneously can increase local engagement and produce complementary findings and data. Overall, our findings support the relevance and usefulness of incorporating participatory biodiversity monitoring into PES.
