“…The choice experiment method is frequently used to estimate the value of biodiversity [31], especially since its ability to measure non-use values must be taken into account [32]. The choice experiment has been tested to estimate WTP for transnational biodiversity protection in cross-country settings in Denmark and Sweden [33], habitat conservation in the Baltic Sea region [34], and migratory bird conservation in Denmark and The Netherlands [35]. Moreover, choice experiments have also been used when estimating the economic value of environmental services such as carbon sequestration that have passive or non-use values [36][37][38].…”

Despite passionate efforts to preserve African elephants worldwide, their numbers continue to decline. Some conservation programs have suspended operations because the funds provided by various governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) cannot cover the enormous expenses of countering poaching, habitat destruction, and illegal ivory trading. This study investigates Chinese resident preferences for African elephant conservation using a choice experiment model. Results indicated that two-thirds of our 442 respondents with relatively higher education and income levels were willing to donate to conserve African elephants. Respondents were willing to donate RMB 1593.80 (USD 231.65) annually to African elephant conservation. Chinese residents were willing to donate the most to anti-poaching RMB 641.25 (USD 93.20), followed by enhancing habitat quality RMB 359.07 (USD 52.22), combating the illegal trade in ivory RMB 355.63 (USD 51.69), and alleviating human–elephant conflicts RMB 237.85 (USD 34.57). Our results suggest that accepting public donations could be an efficient way for NGOs to better preserve African elephants.

“…This includes showing how much more could be done to advance biodiversity goals if funders in one location allowed their conservation dollars to be directed toward a particular joint initiative shared with a neighboring region, perhaps one affiliated with a transboundary ecosystem or a migratory species (Vogdrup‐Schmidt et al . 2019b; Mason et al . 2020).…”

“…We provide a means to tailor these exchange rates to particular funders by quantifying the rates for different combinations of funder and potential investment opportunities.

Given declines in biodiversity and ecosystem services, funding to support conservation must be invested effectively. However, funds for conservation often come with geographic restrictions on where they can be spent. We introduce a method to demonstrate to supporters of conservation how much more could be achieved if they were to allow greater flexibility over conservation funding. Specifically, we calculated conservation exchange rates that summarized gains in conservation outcomes available if funding originating in one location could be invested elsewhere. We illustrate our approach by considering nongovernmental organization funding and major federal programs within the US and a range of conservation objectives focused on biodiversity and ecosystem services. We show that large improvements in biodiversity and ecosystem service provision are available if geographic constraints on conservation funding were loosened. Finally, we demonstrate how conservation exchange rates can be used to spotlight promising opportunities for relaxing geographic funding restrictions.
