Book excerpt: In recent years, issues related to forests have come to prominence on the international agenda. This reflects growing concern over the fate of forest ecosystems and possible loss of the benefits which they provide. In the process of moving towards sustainable management of forests, there is growing demand for practical methodologies for full valuation of forests which permit the contributions of forests to be presented more clearly and in a manner which decision-makers can readily appreciate. Appropriate techniques should be able to adequately capture forest values in terms of the environmental, social and production functions and to recognise the worth of both marketed and non-marketed goods and services. This publication reviews approaches which can overcome the limitations of conventional analysis and provides a reference framework to help clarify what approaches to forest valuation can or cannot work. The publication is not itself a manual on valuation techniques but by reviewing the various approaches, makes it possible to select appropriate methodologies for which it then refers readers to other publications which can provide ''how to do'' details.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic analyses are increasingly applied as an analytical tool to identify efficient and sustainable forest management strategies. These analyses often chose a macro-level approach which – representing the viewpoint of a social planner – emphasize the considerable economic benefits that can be gained from intangible forest benefits, such as the conservation of biodiversity or recreational values. As a result, a commonly proposed policy outcome is the creation of protected areas (PA). In contrast to providing intangible economic benefits, the establishment of PA often imposes significant tangible opportunity costs to households living adjacent to a PA. These opportunity costs arise from a restricted access to the resource and is most strongly pronounced in rural areas of developing countries, where a majority of households generally depends on the access to natural resources to support their livelihoods. These costs are represented by the benefits forgone from the direct extraction of forest products and the conversion of forests for agricultural production. This situation applies especially to the case of Madagascar, where this study was executed. On the one side, the Government of Madagascar has chosen a strict conservation approach as the guiding principle of natural resource management to conserve the endemic biodiversity on the island. On the other side, Madagascar is among the poorest countries in the world and has recently fallen even deeper into poverty. This increases the need for developing natural resource management policies that not only achieve biodiversity conservation, but also contributes to poverty alleviation at the same time. Therefore, a complete and accurate assessment of these opportunity costs is critical for two reasons: a) an improved assessment of opportunity costs will significantly enhance the analytical power of economic analyses and, b) improved data of such opportunity costs represent a key component for a successful implementation of compensation mechanisms.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests play a key role in the livelihoods of the local people as they have both direct and indirect use values. Realization of the indirect benefits of forests to mankind, including improvement in the quality of forest ecosystem, has increased nowadays. It is observed that underestimation of the contribution of indirect benefits from forests or absence of valuation of forest products and services is one of the essential factors leading to forest degradation. Apathy towards these factors will increase the threat to forest. Estimating forests value and understanding how different ecosystem components interact with the income and welfare of rural households leads to sustainable management of forests. Accounting of soils of Pavagadh forest area where ecorestoration activities were practiced, the precise cost and benefit of the different forest conservation activities and further the utility of the Geographical Information System in spatial display of such analysis in the present publication emphasizes the need of indirect cost benefit analysis of the forest management accounting system specifically before and after restoration activities in an area.

This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 1,5, University of Bayreuth (Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research), language: English, abstract: This thesis investigates the potential and limitation of benefit transfer application for the economic valuation of non-marketed forest benefits in Saxony. This time- and cost saving valuation technique can support political and business decisions by transferring monetary costs and benefits from environmental changes from a studied to an unstudied site. As benefit transfer is currently not applied in Saxony, the question becomes how far it can contribute to a better-informed regional decision procedure. To elicit the methodological experiences of this application field, a literature review investigates the technical state of the art. From a methodological perspective, research and application manages spatial, temporal, and ecological site differences and accuracy tests very heterogeneously. The majority refines function transfer with varying models methodologically, drawing on primary valuation studies on forest recreation. A minor fraction concentrates on applications with simplistic unit transfer are of a likewise technically inconsistent manner. Absence of homogeneous ethodological performance and experiences suggest an application of unit transfer for Saxony following a guideline by Navrud (2010). In a compact manner it guides a benefit transfer application on forest benefits. A transfer of a WTP for forest biodiversity demonstrates income-adjusted unit transfer to be principally possible for contexts requiring knowledge gains. However, under current conditions it faces distinct limitations. Valuation is restricted to a small empirical pool on non-marketed forest benefits in such a way that most indirect use and non-use values remain unapproachable. Therefore, further primary valuation studies are fruitful additions to enlarge the number of appraisable benefits. If thorough benefit transfers are pursued in Saxony, incomeadjusted unit transfer is recommended according to Navrud’s (2010) guideline to enable a methodological homogeneous and well-reported valuation. Further, the literature should be collected from databases with empirical studies satisfying the criteria of site similarity. Facilitating a regular prospective application in Saxony, interest and demand needs to be raised to create a legal framework for the internalization of non-marketed forest benefits in political and business decisions.
