摘要

私人森林在保护生物多样性方面发挥着重要作用。各国利用各种机制将私人森林纳入生物多样性保护战略。虽然自愿的私人森林生物多样性养护在北欧国家占主导地位,但在拉脱维亚,非自愿的办法仍然是生物多样性养护的主要途径。我们旨在探讨拉脱维亚森林所有者对现有森林生物多样性保护机制的态度,以及对潜在激励机制的偏好。我们的调查(分析了599份回复)针对的是在非自愿保护下经历过生物多样性保护相关限制的森林所有者,以及拥有具有重要生物多样性价值的森林财产的森林所有者。研究结果表明,经济上对林业收入依赖程度较低、缺乏林业教育的5公顷以下小型林场所有者以及女性林场所有者对生物多样性保护措施的态度更为积极。我们的研究结果表明,大多数森林所有者还没有准备好接受实质性的林业限制。不过,它们愿意接受轻微的林业限制,例如在鸟类繁殖季节不准砍伐,以及有义务保留更多具有生态重要性的树木和枯木。大多数森林所有者认为现有的补偿制度(每年支付)是不公平的。然而,我们的研究结果并没有显示出与现有系统相反,人们对自愿保护方法的接受程度更大。提供关于森林管理中生物多样性保护的资料仍然是一项关键任务,但这主要应通过林业教育系统和林业机构的资料渠道来解决。

Biodiversity conservation in private forests: Preferences of Latvian forest owners in the context of involuntary conservation
Private forests play an important role in biodiversity conservation. Countries utilize various mechanisms for integrating private forests into biodiversity conservation strategies. While voluntary private forest conservation of biodiversity dominates in Nordic Europe countries, in Latvia the involuntary approach remains the main biodiversity conservation path. We aimed to explore the attitude of Latvian forest owners towards existing forest biodiversity conservation mechanisms, and preferences regarding potential motivating mechanisms. Our survey (analysis of 599 responses) was targeted on forest owners who had experienced biodiversity conservation related restrictions under involuntary conservation and who owned forest properties with significant biodiversity values. Our results suggested that owners of small forest properties under 5 ha, who are less financially dependent on forestry income and lack forestry education, as well as female forest owners, are more positive towards biodiversity conservation measures. Our results showed that most forest owners were not ready to accept substantial forestry restrictions. However, they would be ready to accept minor forestry restrictions such as no felling during bird breeding season and obligation of retention of a greater number of ecologically important trees and deadwood. Most forest owners considered the existing compensation system (annual payments) to be unfair. However, our results did not reveal larger acceptance for a voluntary conservation approach, as opposed to the existing system. Provision of information regarding biodiversity conservation in forest management remains a crucial task, however it primarily should be addressed through the forestry education system and forestry institution information channels.

期刊介绍: Forest Policy and Economics is a leading scientific journal that publishes peer-reviewed policy and economics research relating to forests, forested landscapes, forest-related industries, and other forest-relevant land uses. It also welcomes contributions from other social sciences and humanities perspectives that make clear theoretical, conceptual and methodological contributions to the existing state-of-the-art literature on forests and related land use systems. These disciplines include, but are not limited to, sociology, anthropology, human geography, history, jurisprudence, planning, development studies, and psychology research on forests. Forest Policy and Economics is global in scope and publishes multiple article types of high scientific standard. Acceptance for publication is subject to a double-blind peer-review process.
