“…Several studies have shown that people entrust to the government the obligation to encourage and promote conservation (Mattos et al 2007;Monteiro et al 2012). Governmental responsibility to promote environmental preservation was also the main reason for the unwillingness to pay found in the present study.…”

“…Governmental responsibility to promote environmental preservation was also the main reason for the unwillingness to pay found in the present study. As suggested by Mattos et al (2007), dissatisfaction with the government may prompt a form of protest through unwillingness to pay. Among our respondents, this form of protest was confirmed by several respondents who reported dissatisfaction with the performance of governmental agencies regarding environmental protection, conservation incentives, and raising of public awareness.…”

A contingent valuation study of buriti ( Mauritia flexuosa L.f.) in the main region of production in Brazil: is environmental conservation a collective responsibility?

Th e immature leaves of the buriti palm (Mauritia fl exuosa) are widely harvested in the municipality of Barreirinhas, Maranhão, for the production of handicrafts, which are sold to locals and tourists. Th e increasing demand for these artisanal goods is stimulating the emergence of an informal market for immature buriti leaves, leading to an intensifi cation of their extraction and resulting in negative eff ects on local buriti palm populations and the ecosystem. Th us, the objective of the present study was to assess the environmental value of the buriti palm tree based on the maximum willingness to pay (WTP) for its conservation, using the contingent valuation method. Among the respondents, 99.74% reported that the palm species should be protected and the majority of them (65.75%) agreed to pay for its conservation (annual WTP R$ 179.49 ± 222.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the WTP was not infl uenced by the socio-economic profi le of the respondents. Th e main reasons for non-WTP are related to dissatisfaction with the government and the belief that fi nancial contributions would not solve problems of environmental damage. Overall, the evaluated population believes that environmental conservation is not an obligation of the government or that of the population, but is a collective responsibility.

“…Some authors have also used the method to value environmental assets in Brazil. For example, Mattos et al (2007) assessed the Permanent Preservation Area in the Ribeirão São Bartolomeu watershed and reported an average WTP of R$ 27.98 per month among respondents. Fonseca and Drummond (2003) reported that a sample of local residents would be willing to pay approximately R$ 12.53 per month for the conservation of Laguna de Itaipu, in Niterói, RJ.…”

“…Indirect use refers to the indirect ownership of a certain resource, such as the appreciation of the landscape's beauty. Non-use value, also known as intrinsic value or existence value, refers to the personal satisfaction generated by a resource, regardless of its present use or the possibility of its future use (Motta 2006;Mattos et al 2007).…”

Valuation of the Aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuvaAllemão ABSTRACT(Valuation of the aroeira (Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão): Perspectives on conservation). Assigning an economic value to a given environmental asset has helped conservation proposals, and valuing these assets at levels comparable to market rates facilitates the establishment of environmental policies. Th us, this research aimed to assess the value of the species Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão, using the method of contingent valuation to determine the maximum willingness to pay of frequent visitors to the Caruaru Fair, located in northeastern Brazil. Our results show that most interviewees agreed to participate in proposals to support species conservation, although the average willingness to pay (WTP) was relatively low compared to other surveys conducted in Brazil. However, a signifi cant number of the interviewees had exceptionally low monthly incomes. Another relevant aspect of this research was the high number of people (98.5% of the informants) who were concerned about biodiversity conservation; many interviewees stated that the preservation of biodiversity is not a duty exclusive to the government or the people but rather a collective responsibility. Th erefore, these fi ndings may encourage the provision of public proposals for environmental conservation, along with other surveys or government actions funded by a society that has the willingness to pay for them. Th is study is the fi rst economic valuation of a caatinga species, many of which are under threat of extinction.

Land use in Permanent Preservation Areas of Grande River (MG)

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Brazilian Forestry Code established the Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) to preserve environmentally significant areas, such as the banks of waterways. Grande River is an important Brazilian river whose watercourse contains several hydroelectric plants, with few PPAs containing original features. Thus, this study analyzed land use in PPAs of a non-dammed stretch of the upper Rio Grande, in southern Minas Gerais. For this analysis, we used an image of the Rapideye sensor and the Maximum Likelihood classification method. The results showed the occurrence of pastures (49.63%), exposed soil (9.13%), others (0.77%), water (0.15%) and ornamental vegetation (0.13%) while the remaining native vegetation represented only 40.19% of PPAs. These numbers show that environmental laws have not been fulfilled in this area and there is strong human intervention in the PPAs studied.
