An evaluation of monetary and non-monetary techniques for assessing the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem services to people in countries with developing economies (2012, background): “tend to elicit WTP for a single policy option (Kramer and Mercer, 1997; Turpie, 2003), while choice modelling also allows values of the attributes of the policy to be assessed (Kenter et al.”
Does public awareness increase support for invasive species management? Promising evidence across taxa and landscape types (2017, background): “South Africa is a geographical area of high conservation significance; it contains seven major terrestrial biomes, including the Fynbos Biome, which is one of the world's ‘hottest biodiversity hotspots’ (Turpie 2003).”
Twenty thousand sterling under the sea : Estimating the value of protecting deep-sea biodiversity (2014, background): “Most members of the general public also poorly understand complex ecological concepts such as biodiversity (Christie et al., 2006; Ressurreição et al., 2011; Spash & Hanley, 1995; Turpie, 2003).”
An economic assessment of the contribution of biological control to the management of invasive alien plants and to the protection of ecosystem services in South Africa (2010, background): “The unit pricing of biodiversity was based on numerous studies that have attempted to place a monetary value on the ecosystem services derived from biodiversity, including the harvesting of natural products as well as non-use values (Hassan 2003; Higgins et al. 1997; Shackleton and Shackleton 2004; ”
Are There Income Effects on Global Willingness to Pay for Biodiversity Conservation? (2009, background): “Finally, differences in WTP might be caused by non-income differences in the population of beneficiaries being studied (e.g. Boiesen et al. 2005; León 1996; Turpie 2003; Lindhjem et al. 2007), for example in terms of whether they live in an rural or urban location.”
Contingent valuation of ecotourism in Annapurna conservation area, Nepal: implications for sustainable park finance and local development. (2008, methodology): “The entrance fee to the park provides a more concrete contingency factor than others commonly used in CV studies, such as environmental qualityimprovementsorexistencevalues(LeeandChun,1999; Jorgensen et al., 2001; Turpie, 2003 ).”
