“…[19] stated that there are many reasons why PPAs play key roles, not only filling gaps in national biodiversity conservation strategies, but also because they can bolster resource management, enhance citizen participation, promote bottom-up management as well as be a lucrative investment if they are linked to low-impact activities such as small forestry, organic agriculture or ecotourism. According to [20,21] activities such as ecotourism allow economic value to be assigned to natural resources, helping reduce social inequality; [11,21] added that these activities lead to economic transformations at the local level. However, [22] mentioned that there is a lack of literature exploring the social impact of private protected areas, and how they vary according to the different types of ownership of PPAs, especially in ecotourism and their relationship with human well-being.…”

“…Since the 1980s and mainly since the 2000s, NGOs have been cooperating with corporations and have allowed their activities to be viewed with corporations and have allowed their activities to be viewed as positive [8][9][10]. However, in Chile, formal recognition of PPAs is inhibited by a lack of implemented regulations [11].…”

This paper aims to identify the socio-economic impacts perceived by the local community to be caused by Pumalín Park, one of the biggest and most remarkable private protected areas in Chile. In recent years, the Pumalín Park project has had a tremendous influence on the local economy by providing job opportunities for local entrepreneurs, protecting native forest and strengthening social awareness, particularly in the nearby town of Chaitén, which was stricken in 2008 by a volcanic eruption. The methods used were secondary data review, semi-structured interviews with key informants and questionnaires aimed at assessing the local population's perception of the park's contribution to their community. The results indicate that Pumalín Park plays an important role in local development, enhancing not only conservation of fragile mountain ecosystems, but also revitalizing the economic base of this rural and marginalized area of southern Chile.

“…From then on, private actors took over public tasks. Private actors also became more active in conservation (Sepúlveda 1997;Corcuera 2000;Tecklin & Sepúlveda 2014). The first PPAs were established in Chile at the end of the 1980s (Parque Oncol 1989;Santuario El Cañi 1990;Parque Pumalín 1991) (Sepúlveda & García 1997).…”

This study explores the impacts perceived by the local population in Neltume, a small rural village in the mountains of southern Chile, after a private protected area, the Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve, was established. Since the 1990s, Neltume has experienced economic transition from the forestry sector to the development of special-interest tourism. This research aims to investigate how this transition affects the local population and tourism in the area. Methods used were secondary data review, participant observation, semi-structured interviews with key informants, and questionnaires with local householders, students and tourists. The results indicate that this kind of private protected area plays an important role in local development. However, such developments could present a risk in the future because they create a strong dependency for local inhabitants on just one economic activity.

“…There are recently described examples from Europe (Kamal et al, 2015b), North America (Wallace et al, 2008;Pocewicz et al, 2011;Kamal et al, 2015b); South America (Tecklin and Sepulveda, 2014); Australia (Adams and Moon, 2013;Fitzsimons and Carr, 2014). The most commonly used and heavily studied legal models involve various forms of covenant or easement on land titles (Merenlender et al, 2004;Pocewicz et al, 2011;Adams and Moon, 2013;Rissman, 2013;Fitzsimons and Carr, 2014;Stroman and Kreuter, 2014).…”

Four hurdles for conservation on private land: the case of the golden lion tamarin in Brazil's Atlantic Forest

Many threatened species worldwide rely on patches of remnant vegetation in private landholdings. To establish private reserves that contribute effectively to conservation involves a wide range of complex and interacting ecological, legal, social, and financial factors. These can be seen as a series of successive hurdles, each with multiple bars, which must all be surmounted. The golden lion tamarin, Leontopithecus rosalia, is restricted to the Atlantic Forest biome in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This forest is largely cleared. There are many small remnant patches on private lands, able to support tamarins. Local NGO's have successfully used limited funds to contribute to tamarin conservation in a highly cost effective way. We examined the mechanisms by analysing documents and interviewing landholders and other stakeholders. We found that the local NGOs successfully identified landholdings where ecological, legal, social, and some financial hurdles had already been crossed, and helped landholders over the final financial hurdle by funding critical cost components. This cost <5% of the price of outright land purchase. This approach is scalable for golden lion tamarin elsewhere within the Atlantic Forest biome, and applicable for other species and ecosystems worldwide.
