Know Thy Forest Value: Willingness to Pay for Forest Existence Values in Uganda

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Uganda commonly known as the pearl of Africa is greatly endowed with flora and fauna. Until the 2000s, most of her vegetation were natural forests. It is argued that human activities have largely damaged these forests lately. Understanding the value people of Uganda attach to such endangered forest resources is very paramount. We hypothesized that willingness to pay (WTP) for forest existence value depends on the preference for the forest existence. The study carried out field questionnaire interviews to obtain WTP for forest existence values. The WTP values were in a range between 1 and 200 USD based on the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Cross-tabulation results of the expressed preferences illustrated that over 80% of the representative sample is willing to pay for forest existence value. Bias mitigation results showed that the mean WTP in this region is 15 USD per year and that over 60% were willing to pay this amount.
