Does a voluntary conservation program result in a representative protected area network?: The case of Finnish privately owned forests
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of a voluntary conservation program in selecting sites that would maximize the number of specific target species in the selected conservation network subject to a given budget constraint.About:

Agglomeration payment, agglomeration bonus or homogeneous payment?
Frank Wätzold,Martin Drechsler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the performance of an agglomeration bonus with a spatially homogeneous payment and an aggleration payment (where landowners receive money only if conserved land parcels are spatially connected).

Auctions for conservation contracts: an empirical Examination of Victoria’s Bush Tender Trial
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an analysis of Victoria's BushTender Trial and compare the discriminative price auction to a hypothetical fixed-price scheme, and comment on anecdotal evidence about the likely indirect benefits of the trial.

Monitoring payments for watershed services schemes in developing countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the monitoring and evaluation criteria behind compliance or transactional monitoring, which ensures that contracts are followed, and effectiveness conditionality, which looks at how schemes manage to achieve their environmental objectives regardless of the degree of compliance.

Successful voluntary conservation of raptor nests under intensive forestry pressure in a boreal landscape
TL;DR: In this article, a conservation program was conducted to preserve raptor nests from forest clear-cutting in private lands of North Karelia (Finland), where landowners were proposed to voluntarily set aside a forest buffer around nests of Accipiter gentilis, Buteo buteo and Pernis apivorus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landowners’ conservation motives and the size of information rents in environmental bidding systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between landowners' conservation motives, conservation costs and information rents in environmental bidding systems designed for forestry with the help of Faustmann and Hartman models and data from Finnish conservation program.

Systematic Conservation Planning
C. R. Margules,Robert L. Pressey +1 more
TL;DR: A more systematic approach to locating and designing reserves has been evolving and this approach will need to be implemented if a large proportion of today's biodiversity is to exist in a future of increasing numbers of people and their demands on natural resources.

Species Diversity in Space and Time
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a hierarchical dynamic puzzle to understand the relationship between habitat diversity and species diversity and the evolution of the relationships between habitats diversity and diversity in evolutionary time.
Journal ArticleDOI
What to protect?—Systematics and the agony of choice
TL;DR: It is concluded that two basic rounds of analysis are required: recognition of global priority areas by taxic diversity techniques; and, within any such area, analysis without taxic weighting to identify a network of reserves to contain all local taxa and ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species Distributions, Land Values, and Efficient Conservation
TL;DR: With the use of county-level data on land prices and the incidence of endangered species, it is shown that accounting for heterogeneity in land prices results in a substantial increase in efficiency in terms of either the cost of achieving a fixed coverage of species or the coverage attained from a fixed budget.
