Alpine open spaces are becoming noticeably scarcer. In the Alps, this applies to the inherently limited area of permanent settlement, which in the case of Tyrol covers only 11.8%. The population is growing in many of the valleys and with it the infrastructure it requires. However, the open...

Interaktionen von Menschen und Wildtieren treten weltweit auf. Managementpläne können die auftretenden Konflikte mildern und Auswirkungen der Interaktionen minimieren. Dabei sind nicht nur ökologische Faktoren zu betrachten und finanzielle und technische Lösungen zu finden. Entscheidend für...

Die Corona-Pandemie ist eine weltweite Gesundheitskrise, die eng mit der globalen Biodiversitätskrise verwoben ist. Sie entstand durch einen zoonotischen Erreger, der von Wildtieren auf den Menschen übersprang. Viren können sich in gestörten Ökosystemen leicht ausbreiten, und mit...

We contribute to the literature on the optimal design of auction mechanisms for the procurement of nature conservation activities. We use an economic experiment to examine whether the market efficiency of conservation auctions increases or decreases with repetition. Theory predicts that...

Rural agroforestry landscapes in West and Central Africa face a number of threats. Since decades, the ever escalating bushmeat crisis is pushing populations of threatened wildlife closer to extinction in many parts of West and Central Africa. In addition, population growth and economic needs are...

This paper constitutes one of six analyses of cross-sectoral challenges in water governance. These have been conducted as part of the STEER research project and results are published in separate analyses and position papers. The Emscher River restoration project reveals wide-ranging usage...

Growing population and technological advancement are continuously putting a strain on the environment and on country's natural resources. Over-exploitation of the country's resources like land, water, fuel etc. has resulted in degradation of resources mainly due to industrial pollution, soil...

Understanding what influences the value of nature is crucial for informing environmental policy. From a sustainability perspective, economic valuation should not only seek to determine willingness to pay for environmental goods to devise an efficient allocation of scarce resources, but should...

Nature conservation scientists and practitioners have voiced the concern that a conservation discourse based on economic arguments and monetary valuation may undermine conservation efforts by eroding ("crowding out") the influence of other arguments for nature conservation. This paper presents...

Nature underpins all economic activities and human well-being. It is the world’s most important asset. Yet humanity is destroying biodiversity at an unprecedented rate, posing significant but often overlooked risks to the economy, the financial sector and the well-being of current and future...
