Efecto distancia en la disposición a pagar por la conservación de la biodiversidad: el caso de un área protegida megadiversa

A groundbreaking study on the willingness to pay (WTP) for biodiversity conservation in Peru's Manu National Park reveals that proximity does not inversely affect financial support. Contrary to expectations, the 'positive decay effect' suggests that interest in conserving this megadiverse area outweighs the disinterest associated with distance. This finding challenges conventional economic models and underscores the unique appeal of high-biodiversity regions. The research employed choice experiments (CE) based on 1,164 surveys, providing a robust dataset to analyze various attributes influencing conservation support.
