Terrestrial biodiversity is seriously threatened by an increasing rate of deforestation. This study highlights the role that financial incentives can play in stimulating local people to participate in biodiversity conservation. A common approach to providing financial compensation is to estimate the opportunity costs arising from adopting land-use practices favorable to conservation.
