“…Affective factors influence tourists’ willingness to behave in an environmentally responsible manner, and the emotional connection between tourists and the destination, along with the psychological identification that tourists develop with the destination, drive the formation of behavioral attitudes and behavioral intentions related to the environment [ 45 ]. Tourists’ perceived emotions have significantly positive effects on their willingness to pay for rare species conservation [ 46 ]. If TERB can be managed emotionally, such that tourists actively engage in TERB, then such behaviors can be more sustainable, which can improve tourists’ behaviors and reduce environmental destruction, as well as promoting green tourism.…”

This study aimed to empirically explore the relationship between destination attractiveness and tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior (TERB), as based on self-regulated attitude theory. In this paper, we have divided destination attractiveness into two aspects: the attractiveness of a facility’s services, and that of the sightseeing experience, so as to build a structural equation model with mediation analysis. For our research, we selected Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan as the site of our case study, and we conducted a survey using a questionnaire. We then analyzed the path using a structural equation model. Our results show: (1) two elements of destination attractiveness have significantly positive effects on TERB; and (2) place attachment exerts a mediating effect among the attractiveness of the facility’s services, that of the sightseeing experience, and TERB. Therefore, enhancing destination attractiveness and tourists’ emotional attachments to locations could help to promote the implementation of TERB and the achievement of sustainable tourism development.

“…Malah, WTP juga berkait dengan teori permintaan dan penawaran (Amaliah et al, 2021). Menurut Yang (2021) dan Mzek (2022), WTP ini bukan sahaja bertujuan mengkaji tentang pemeliharaan tetapi juga perlindungan ekologi dan konservasi (A.A.A, 2019;Hu, 2020).…”

Pemeliharaan penyu adalah bertujuan memastikan spesies penyu sedia ada tidak berada dalam ancaman kepupusan kritikal sehingga mengalami ketidakseimbangan ekosistem. Ia juga bertujuan meningkatkan kemandirian penyu bagi meningkatkan kualiti ekosistem marin. Sumber yang terhad ini penting untuk dilindungi supaya faedah dan peranan sedia ada dapat dinikmati oleh generasi akan datang. Oleh itu, persoalan utama yang perlu dijawab sekiranya seseorang individu itu sanggup membayar (WTP) bagi tujuan pemeliharaan, adalah berapakah nilai yang akan diletakkan untuk tujuan tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan Kaedah Penilaian Kontinjen untuk menganggar nilai kesanggupan orang ramai untuk membayar. Kajian ini dijalankan melalui pengumpulan data primer ke atas 120 responden yang pernah melihat dan merasai pengalaman langsung dengan penyu berdasarkan pengedaran soal selidik secara dalam talian dan tinjauan lapangan. Harga purata kesanggupan membayar adalah RM9.85 setiap orang, menunjukkan bahawa kesedaran terhadap usaha pemeliharaan penyu adalah tinggi. Data dianalisis menggunakan perisian Stata Ekonometrik versi 16 untuk analisis deskriptif dan kaedah regresi logistik binari. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa umur, pendapatan, dan pendidikan mempengaruhi kesanggupan individu untuk membayar pemeliharaan penyu di Terengganu. Penemuan menunjukkan bahawa orang ramai sanggup membayar dan menyokong program pemeliharaan penyu di negeri ini. Hasil kajian ini memberi implikasi kepada pihak berautoriti untuk menentukan kesesuaian dana pemeliharaan penyu jika dikenakan kelak. Hal ini demikian kerana kewujudan haiwan itu amat penting untuk mengekalkan keseimbangan ekosistem lautan dalam jangka masa panjang

“…As an organic part of the ecosystem, wild animals are an essential link to maintaining the energy flow and material cycle in this environment, and they play an important regulatory role in the virtuous cycle of the ecosystem [1][2][3]. With the development of economy and society, the contradiction between the unreasonable demand of humans for wild animals and total wildlife resources has become progressively prominent [4,5]. Since the 1600s, 120 species of animals and 250 species of birds have become extinct [6], and approximately 100 species are estimated to be on the verge of extinction daily [7].…”

“…The conservation of rare and endangered species necessitates participation from the public [1][2][3], who have become increasingly aware of the importance of protecting such species under rapid societal and economic progress [4]. In China, in order to protect rare and endangered species, in situ protection and ex situ protection are usually adopted.…”

“…Studies have shown that selection value, existence value, and heritage value, which are not directly related to human use, can be reflected in their potential value through WTP [11][12][13]. The WTP for wildlife conservation is assessed through the contingent valuation method (CVM), which has been widely employed worldwide [3][4][5]. The CVM involves the use of a questionnaire to construct a hypothetical market to determine people's maximum WTP for environmental improvement or their minimum willingness to compensate for environmental degradation (willingness to accept) [14,15].…”

Local Willingness to Pay Survey for Rare and Endangered Species Protection in Qianjiangyuan National Park, China

et al. 2023

The willingness to pay for the protection of rare and endangered species is information vital to the formulation of biodiversity protection strategies. Accordingly, this study used the contingent valuation method to evaluate the protection of Elliot’s pheasant (Syrmaticus ellioti) in Qianjiangyuan National Park in Zhejiang, China. A questionnaire was administered to the residents of 19 villages in the towns of Qixi, Hetian, Changhong, and Suzhuang to examine their willingness to pay for the conservation of Elliot’s pheasant. A logit model was adopted to calculate the monetary existence value of the species. The results showed that 38.1% of the respondents are willing to pay CNY 4.025 per month for the protection of Elliot’s pheasant and that the total willingness payment per year is CNY 179,312. This willingness is influenced mainly by gender, education level, income level, and awareness regarding the protection of the species, which all have a significant positive correlation with willingness. The male respondents refuse to pay for protection fees, whereas respondents with high education levels, incomes, and awareness of the protection of endangered species are more willing to protect Elliot’s pheasant. Among the respondents, 45.30%, 38.46%, and 28.21% are unwilling to pay for the protection of the species because of income constraints, poor awareness of species conservation, and perceptions regarding the role of government, respectively. The government should increase subsidies for conservation and guide the re-employment of residents as protectors of biological diversity in the study area to increase their incomes. It should also strengthen public awareness regarding biodiversity and nationally protected animals.
