Abstract and Figures

This document reports on the economic value of key ecosystem services in the Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko landscapes. It seeks to provide an economic and business case for enhanced investment in these three protected areas (PAs), as well as demonstrating a methodology that can be applied to other PAs in Sulawesi. The study was carried out by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as part of the Government of Indonesia, UNDP and GEF project “Enhancing the Protected Area System in Sulawesi for Biodiversity Conservation” (E-PASS). The ecosystem services provided by Sulawesi’s Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko protected landscapes leave a significant economic footprint, which stretches across buffer-zone livelihoods, downstream communities and the Sulawesi economy. More than half of local households rely on wild forest products for food, energy, medicines and shelter, and 60,000 ha of crops depend on pollination services provided by forest-dependent species. In excess of 1.5 million downstream water users depend on forest watershed protection, accounting for 56 billion cubic meters of water worth USD 15 billion a year, as well as 70,000 ha of irrigated rice worth USD 108 million, and 1.4 million people in flood and landslide risk areas avoid damages of more than USD 86 million. It follows that there is considerable value-added or costs-avoided from maintaining the conservation status of Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko as PAs. Over the next 25 years the continued protection of the sites will generate economic benefits over and above what would be available if the PAs were being deforested at the same rate as in their buffer-zones of USD 436 million (IDR 5.8 trillion) in Bogani, USD 337 million (IDR 4.5 trillion) in Lore Lindu and USD 173 million (IDR 2.3 billion) in Tangkoko.

Executive Summary
This document reports on
the economic value of key ecosystem services in the Bogani, Lore Lindu
and Tangkoko landscapes
.
It seeks to
provide an
economic and business case for enhanced investment in
these three protected areas (PAs), as well as demonstrating a methodology that can be applied to other PAs in
Sulawesi.
The study was carried out by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as part of the Government of Indonesia,
UNDP and GEF project “Enhancing the Protected Area System in Sulawesi for Biodiversity Conservation” (E-PASS).
Seven main categories of
ecosystem services
are identified and described which are common to all three PAs,
together comprising at least 18 distinct services:
These ecosystem services generate a diverse array of
economic benefits
, for a wide variety of
stakeholders
:
Four categories of ecosystem-economic benefits are selected for
detailed analysis
, based on the stated priorities
of PA stakeholders and experts: 1. local use of forest products; 2. watershed protection for water supply and disaster
risk reduction; 3. wild animal pollination, seed dispersal and pest control; and 4. nature-based tourism and research.

The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
The ecosystem services provided by Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko are found to leave a significant
economic
footprint
, which stretches across buffer-zone livelihoods, downstream communities and the Sulawesi economy:
Executive Summary
The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
iii
The
baseline economic value
of the selected ecosystem services is demonstrated to be substantial – some USD
36 million (
IDR 484.87 billion)
or USD 136/ha/year in Bogani, USD 32 million (
IDR 431.77 billion)
or USD 158/ha/year
in Lore Lindu and USD 10 million (
IDR 133.85 billion)
or USD 1,760/ha/year in Tangkoko. In Bogani and Lore Lindu
watershed protection services are of particular value, while tourism makes a major economic contribution in Tangkoko:
In turn, the
economic impacts of deforestation
are clear. Two possible future scenarios are compared with
the current baseline: business as usual (where past deforestation rates in the three PAs continue unchanged) and no
forest protection (where the three sites lose their PA status and
revert to the same
patterns of land use change and
rates of deforestation as recorded in
their buffer-zones
).
Ecosystem service values show a modest decline in all
three PAs under business as usual, and register a sharp fall under no forest protection:
Executive Summary

The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
It follows that there is considerable
value-added or costs-avoided from maintaining the
conservation status
of Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko as PAs. Over the next 25 years the continued
protection of the sites will generate economic benefits over and above what would be available if the PAs were
being deforested at the same rate as in their buffer-zones of USD 436 million (IDR 5.8 trillion) in Bogani, USD 337
million (IDR 4.5 trillion) in Lore Lindu and USD 173 million (IDR 2.3 billion) in Tangkoko.
These values provide a
strong economic and development rationale for investing in Bogani Nani
Wartabone and Lore Lindu National Parks and Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve
, so as to
sustain the flow of valuable ecosystem services. The overarching message is that any loss of PA biodiversity and
ecosystem services poses a grave economic risk to many different groups, sectors and production processes.
Conversely, undertaking the investments and activities that are required to improve PA conservation status and
management effectiveness has the potential to leverage considerable economic gains.
At least two aspects need to be addressed when estimating PA conservation costs, identifying PA sustainable financing
mechanisms and achieving “enhanced PA investment”:
securing and sustaining the financial flows
that are
required to cover the direct physical costs of PA management, and
setting in place the incentives
that are
needed to enable, empower and encourage people to conserve biodiversity in the course of their economic activities.
The valuation study suggests a number of
needs, niches and opportunities for better capturing
ecosystem service values and compensating conservation costs.
These basically revolve around
redistributing or transferring payments from the groups and sectors that benefit for free or at low cost from PA crop
pollination, watershed protection and recreational services as financing flows for the PA authorities that incur direct
management expenditures and incentives for the PA-adjacent community members that bear the opportunity costs of
conservation.

INTRODUCTION: Background to the study
The E-PASS project
The Government of Indonesia, UNDP and GEF project “Enhancing the Protected Area System in Sulawesi for
Biodiversity Conservation” (E-PASS) seeks to strengthen the effectiveness and financial sustainability of Sulawesi’s
protected area (PA) system to respond to existing threats to globally significant biodiversity. While recognising
that, despite large-scale degradation, Sulawesi’s forests continue to provide a variety of valuable ecosystem
services, the project document notes that there remains a serious lack of recognition of the economic significance
of PAs. The first of the three outputs to be delivered under component 2 of the project (financial sustainability of
the Sulawesi PA system) is thus to “assess, and raise awareness of, the environmental economic value of
Sulawesi’s PAs”, so that “an environmental economic case is made for increased investment in the PA system”.
To these ends, WCS is carrying out an ecosystem service valuation study, focusing on the three E-PASS
demonstration sites: Bogani Nani Wartabone and Lore Lindu National Parks and Tangkoko Batuangus Nature
Reserve. This seeks to provide an economic and business case for habitat protection, as well as generating a
methodology and results that can be used to highlight the economic value of other PAs in Sulawesi.
It is also anticipated that the findings of the valuation study will serve to inform the further exploration of new PA
financing mechanisms (work that will be undertaken separately by the Government of Indonesia). The current
report is thus intended to feed into E-PASS outputs 2.2 (develop a Sulawesi-level PA system financing strategy
and pilot provincial-level plans) and 2.3 (expand and diversify revenue generation for PA management). Outputs
2.2 and 2.3 are being undertaken under the lead of the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS).

Background & introduction

The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
The overall objective of the valuation study is to describe and demonstrate the economic value of key ecosystem
services in the Tangkoko, Bogani & Lore Lindu landscapes, so as to generate information that can be used to
strengthen the economic case for enhanced investment in the PA system. To these ends, it involves five steps,
each of which seeks to answer a key question (Figure 1):
Identifying ecosystem services and stakeholders: what types of ecosystem services do Tangkoko,
Bogani and Lore Lindu generate, and for whom?
Assessing ecosystem-economic linkages: how are ecosystem services linked to production,
consumption and economic wellbeing for different stakeholder groups and sectors?
Estimating ecosystem service values: how much are selected priority PA ecosystem services currently
worth, and for which sectors and stakeholders?
Demonstrating the economic consequences of ecosystem change: what are the economic gains
from biodiversity conservation, and what are the costs arising from ecosystem degradation and loss?
Understanding how ecosystem values are distributed and captured: for which sectors and groups
do key conservation benefits remain unrewarded, costs uncompensated or opportunities captured?
It should be noted that the valuation study has been refocused as compared to what is outlined in the E-PASS
project document. The original scope of output 2.1 was to assess the value of Sulawesi’s PAs in terms of the full
range of ecosystem goods and services being provided”, “the economic rate of return on investment in the PA
system, and a comparative cost-benefit analysis with other types of land uses, including forestry and
agriculture/plantation”. The original scope was very ambitious and not realistic within the budget and timeframe
available for the study, therefore the valuation study was scaled back to a rapid assessment of the economic
values of 2-3 key ecosystem services which are applicable across Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko. The intention
is that the work should be realistic and achievable, at the same time as generating practical, policy-relevant and
credible information for decision-makers seeking to make the economic case for PA investments in Sulawesi.
Content of the report
In addition to this introduction, the report contains five chapters and a reference list:
Chapter 2 describes the valuation approach and methodology that is applied in the study;
Chapter 3 presents findings on ecosystem service-economic linkages at local, landscape and island-
wide levels and for key beneficiary groups and sectors (steps 1 and 2 above);
Chapter 4 analyses the economic value of key ecosystem services, and models the economic
impacts of forest degradation (steps 3 and 4 above); and
Chapter 5 concludes the economic case for investing in Sulawesi’s protected areas, including the
ways in which the current distribution and capture of ecosystem costs and benefits presents
needs, niches and opportunities to strengthen conservation incentives and finance (step 5 above).

METHODOLOGY: How ecosystem services were valued
A stepwise approach to identifying, estimating & capturing ecosystem values
As described in Chapter 1, the valuation study seeks to generate information that can be used to strengthen the
economic case for enhanced investment in Sulawesi’s PA system. The aim of linking ecosystem value information
with PA financing measures is integral to E-PASS, and forms the basis of component 2 of the project. Given this
bigger-picture focus, the study adopts the stepwise approach to valuation proposed by The Economics of
Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB). This provides a simple framework for using economic valuation to identify
financial and economic instruments which can support conservation in the real world, by helping decision-makers
to better recognise, demonstrate and capture the values of ecosystems and biodiversity (TEEB 2008).
Another important reason for choosing TEEB as the guiding conceptual framework for the study is that a number
of initiatives in Indonesia have already expressed an interest or intention to apply TEEB methods, or have
completed studies that draw on the TEEB framework (see, for example, UNORCID 2015, von Paddenburg et al.
2012, Wich et al. 2011). An ASEAN TEEB scoping study has also recently been developed (ACB 2012). This makes
the current study consistent with approaches to ecosystem valuation that have already been taken up at national
and regional levels.
TEEB proposes a three-tiered approach to ecosystem valuation
(Figure 2; TEEB 2010). The first two steps are
applied in the current study:
First, it is necessary to identify and assess affected ecosystem services and the implications for
different groups in society. This requires considering the full range of stakeholders and economic processes
influencing and/or benefiting from
ecosystem services and biodiversity
(steps 1 and 2 of the current study);
and
Second the value of ecosystem
services should be estimated and
demonstrated, using appropriate
methods. This involves looking at the
present situation (step 3 of the
current study) and analysing the
linkages over scale and time that
affect when and where the costs and
benefits of particular uses of
biodiversity and ecosystems are realised (step 4), to help frame the distributive impacts of decisions (step 5).
The third stage of TEEB, capturing the value of ecosystem services and seeking solutions, which involves
developing economically-informed policy instruments, lies outside the scope of the current study. It however
underpins the other two outputs of E-PASS component 2: the development of an island-wide PA system financing
plan (output 2,2) and the expansion and diversification of revenues and other PA financing sources (output 2.3).
This further underlines the complementarity between the valuation study and the ongoing work on PA financing,
and underscores the need to see them as a closely integrated package of activities.

Categorising ecosystem services & values (steps 1 & 2)
A second guiding principle in putting together the current study is the need to consider the full range of
economically-significant ecosystem services associated with Bogani, Lore Lindu & Tangkoko for different
stakeholder groups (as applied in steps 1 and 2). This requires combining ecological and economic measures of
PA services. Adopting a framework which has now gained broad acceptance among conservation planners, the
study characterises ecosystem services as “the benefits people obtain from ecosystems”, according to the four
basic categories suggested by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (Figure 3; MEA 2005): provisioning,
regulating, supporting and cultural services. As described in the MEA, together these generate not just products
and raw materials, but also provide the primary productivity and vital life support services that are critical to
human wellbeing.

Figure 4: Total economic value

The ecosystem services framework is overlaid with the concept of total economic value (TEV; Figure 4). Over the
last three decades, TEV has become the most widely-applied framework for identifying and categorising
ecosystem values (see Pearce et al. 1989). The major innovation is that it extends beyond the marketed and priced
commodities to which economists have conventionally limited their analysis. Rather, it seeks to account for the
full gamut of economically important goods and services associated with the natural environment: direct, indirect,
option and existence values. Looking at the TEV of ecosystems thus involves considering their complete range of
characteristics as integrated systems resource stocks, flows of services, and the attributes of the ecosystem as
a whole.
In turn, each of the categories of TEV correspond to a different component of the MEA framework: direct values
to provisioning services, indirect values to supporting and regulating services, existence values to cultural services,
and option values potentially cross-cutting all four categories of ecosystem service. This provides the underlying
framework for assessing ecosystem-economic linkages and values in an integrated manner.
Valuing ecosystem services (step 3)
The current study involves estimating the monetary value of priority ecosystem services (step 3). The question of
how to place a monetary value on ecosystem services has long posed something of a challenge to economists.
The easiest and most straightforward way to value goods and services, and the method used conventionally, is to
look at their market price: what they cost to buy or are worth to sell. However, as many of the ecosystem services
generated by Sulawesi’s PAs have no market price (or are subject to prices which are highly distorted as regards
their real value), these techniques only have very limited application to in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko.
Figure 5: The ecosystem valuation ‘toolbox’
A suite of methods has been developed over recent years with which to value ecosystem services that cannot be
calculated accurately via the use of market prices (see, for example CBD 2007, Emerton and Bos 2004, Kettunen
and ten Brink 2013, OECD 2002, Philips 1998). These are now relatively well-known and commonly-used, and are

accepted by both economic and conservation planners. In addition to market prices, the ecosystem valuation
‘toolbox’ consists of five main categories of methods (Figure 5):
Production function approaches: attempt to relate changes in the output of a marketed good to a
measurable change in the quality of quantity of ecosystem services by establishing a biophysical or dose-
response relationship between ecosystem quality, service provision, and related production;
Surrogate market approaches: look at the ways in which the value of ecosystem goods and services are
reflected indirectly in people’s expenditures, or in the prices of other related market goods and services;
Cost-based approaches: assess at the market trade-offs or costs avoided of maintaining ecosystems for
their goods and services;
Stated preference approaches: ask consumers to state their preference directly (rather than looking at
the way in which people reveal their preferences for ecosystem goods and services through market
production and consumption, as in the approaches listed above); and
Benefit transfer approaches: involve the transferral of value estimates from studies which have been
carried out elsewhere to the service or site that is of current interest.
Four ecosystem services are valued in steps 3 and 4 of the current study: local utilisation of forest products,
watershed protection, crop pollination and pest control, and tourism/research. These were identified by PA
stakeholders as being of the greatest importance in conservation and economic terms in Bogani, Lore Lindu and
Tangkoko (see Chapters 3 and 4). As described below and summarised in Figure 6, a variety of techniques were
used to value these priority ecosystem services. The selection of methods was made based on their suitability and
applicability for valuing different ecosystem services, and was also strongly influenced by the availability of data.
Figure 6: Techniques used to value priority ecosystem services
How local utilisation of forest products was valued
Local utilisation of forest products was valued using market price techniques. A survey was carried out in Bogani,
Lore Lindu and Tangkoko buffer zones, covering male and female respondents from 360 households ranged
across 4 villages adjacent to each PA (Table 1). Data were collected about participation in forest product utilisation
activities inside the PAs including frequency of use, quantity of products collected, and use of harvest for home
consumption and sale. Data were collected separately from each PA to establish the local market price of forest
products. Average figures per household were extrapolated to the entire buffer zone population using BPS and
GIS data on the number of households living within 5 km of the forest’s edge in each PA-adjacent area, allowing
for only that proportion of buffer zone households that participate in each activity for home use or sale.

How watershed protection was valued
Watershed protection was valued using a combination of benefit transfer, production function and cost-based
techniques. Due to a lack of quantitative biophysical data on the hydrological linkages between forest cover,
erosion, downstream waterflow/quality and the incidence, impact and severity of flood and landslide events, the
study relied on watershed protection estimates generated for tropical forest areas in other parts of Indonesia, as
well as Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. It should however be noted
that, due to the very specific ecological and hydrological relationships that pertain in different sites as regards the
provision of watershed protection services, the benefit transfer values must be treated with extreme caution.
These figures however are useful in the sense that they represent a preliminary – albeit imperfect – estimate of
the possible magnitude of watershed protection values in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko. As and when reliable
biophysical data become available, these figures can be updated.
Twenty useable estimates were found of forest watershed protection values, drawn from 12 studies (Ayumi &
Chanhda 2009, Bann 1997, Emerton & Yan Min Aung 2013, Emerton et al. 2014, Hansen & Top 2006,
Kuchelmeister 2003, MARD 2008, Nabangchang 2010, Paris & Ruzicka 1991, Rosales et al. 2005, UNORCID 2015,
Vu Tan Phuong 2012). Although a larger number of estimates were found in the literature referring to sites and
studies that would have been appropriate to use for benefit transfer, not all were considered to be reliable either
in their methodology, assumptions or calculations, and were therefore excluded. For the usable estimates.
conversion factors based on relative purchasing power parity were used to adjust for the differences in real prices
and values between Indonesia and the country in which the estimate was generated. These yielded an average
value per hectare of forest of IDR 2.48 million (USD 185)
GIS data were generated for Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko on the area occupied by different sub-watersheds,
the degree to which they overlapped with each PA, and the forest cover in each. Not all of the forest in watershed
areas of the PAs is however critical to watershed protection, or would lead to a significant reduction in services
should it be degraded or replaced by the next most-likely land use option (in most cases grassland, mixed
smallholder crops and/or estate agriculture). As the time, resources, budget and available data did not permit
detailed modelling of the relative importance of different PA watershed forest areas, slope class was used as a
proxy for the level of watershed protection services provided. Although an imperfect indicator, this provides some
indication of the likely vulnerability of different areas to runoff and erosion – and thus of the importance of forest
cover in providing watershed protection. Only “hilly”, “steep” and “very steep” forested slopes (i.e. those above
15 per cent) were considered to play a significant role in watershed protection (from WIschmeier & Smith 1978),
and maintenance of forest cover was considered essential on slopes greater than 40 per cent for preventing
serious erosion and landslides (from Forbes & Broadhead 2011). Forest cover in each of five slope classes was

How crop pollination and pest control were valued
The contribution of wild animals (such as insects, birds, bats and other mammals) to crop pollination, pest control
and seed dispersal were valued using a combination of production function and market price techniques. GIS data
were generated on the area under food crops, horticultural crops and estate farms within 1.5 km of the forest’s
edge in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko. This distance was chosen based on the findings of other studies in
tropical countries which suggest that, taking into account foraging areas and average range, the most significant
effect of animal pollination on crop yield occurs at 1,500 metres or less from forest fragments; beyond this, the
effect is lost (De Marco & Coelho 2004, Mushambanyi & Munyuli 2014, Ricketts et al. 2004.
District-level statistics from BPS and Ministry of Agriculture on harvested areas, production levels and farmgate
prices for each crop were used to model cropping patterns and gross margins for different farming systems in the
PA buffer-zones. Dependency ratios established by FAO and others (see, for example, Gallai & Vaissière 2009,
Losey & Vaughan 2006, McGregor 1976) were used to calculate the contribution of animal pollinators to
production for each crop grown in the PA-adjacent area (Table 3). These ratios establish the share of crop
production associated with wild animal pollination. A conservative assumption was made that forest-dependent
insects, birds and mammals contribute 50 per cent of pollination services in the area around Bogani, Lore Lindu
and Tangkoko.

How tourism and research were valued
Tourism and research were valued using a combination of market price, stated preference and benefit transfer
techniques. Data on foreign and Indonesian visitor entries, research permits and revenues were obtained from
each PA. In addition, key informant interviews were carried out in each of Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko to
collect data on the overall size and composition of the visitor market; average length of stay in the PA and adjacent
area; number and utilisation of guest houses and other tourist facilities/services in the buffer-zone; prices for
accommodation, meals, transport and tours; numbers of research projects and researchers; local employment
and wages in tourist enterprises and research projects. Expenditure profiles were then built up for foreign and
Indonesian visitors to the PA and buffer zones, differentiating between independent and group travellers, day-
trippers and overnight visitors.
Income and employment multipliers were applied to track the wider effects of PA tourism on the Sulawesi
economy, based on the 2015 tourism satellite accounts for Indonesia produced by the World Travel and Tourism
Council (WTTC 2015). These show that, on average, every foreign visitor to Indonesia generates IDR 13,625,000
(USD 1,020) of spending within the country over the course of their trip. No data were available to enable income
multipliers to be calculated for Indonesian visitor spending. The application of income multipliers assumes that
the wish to visit Bogani, Lore Lindu and/or Tangkoko provides a major motivation for foreign tourists’ trips, and
that the full spending multiplier could therefore be applied.
WTTC tourism satellite accounts employment multipliers for Indonesia show that on average every direct job in
the tourism industry supports 2.95 other jobs (including wider effects from investment, the supply chain and
induced income impacts). This multiplier was applied to scale up local employment and wage earnings in tourism
enterprises and research projects across the Sulawesi economy.
It is now widely recognised that the total value of PA tourism to leisure visitors is typically far higher than the price
that they pay for their trips. Estimates of consumer surplus, non-use values and overall willingness to pay for
biodiversity conservation were generated using benefit transfer techniques, drawing on a range of travel cost,
contingent valuation and choice experiments studies that have been carried out in similar sites and for
comparable visitor populations in other parts of Indonesia, as well as Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Viet
Nam. As is the case with watershed protection, great care should always be taken when applying benefit transfer
techniques. The reference studies used to generate value estimates were therefore deliberately selected to
represent tourist characteristics, site features and trip experiences that closely mirror those found in Bogani, Lore
Lindu and Tangkoko.
Sixteen useable estimates were found for foreign visitor values and 10 estimates for Indonesian visitor values,
drawn from 20 studies (Arin & Kramer 2002, Asafu-Adjaye & Tapsuwan 2008, Aungsuviriya 2010, Chanrawong
2002, Hoa & Ly 2009, Ibrahim et al. 2012, Jianjun et al. 2007, Nabangchang 2008, Othman & Rahajeng 2004,

described above, purchasing power parity conversion factors were applied to come up with Indonesia-equivalent
prices. Deducting direct visitor expenditures, so as to avoid double counting, these yielded per capita values of
IDR 463,000 (USD 35) for foreign visitors and IDR 144,000 (USD 11) for Indonesian visitors.

The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
Modelling the economic impacts of ecosystem change (steps 4 & 5)
Another defining feature of the current study is that is involves looking at the economic impacts of changes in PA
status and integrity (step 4), so as to be able to demonstrate the economic case for investing in Sulawesi’s PA
system (step 5). Many valuation studies stop short of taking a dynamic view of ecosystem services or of changes
in the conservation landscape. It should however be noted that coming up with a single, snapshot estimate of
ecosystem service values has little meaning in practical terms and only limited usefulness for generating decision-
support information.
Ecosystem service values should be seen in relative, not absolute, terms. It is the incremental values or marginal
changes that are of relevance and interest to decision-makers. This point is also underlined by TEEB, which states
as the first principle of best practice in the valuation of ecosystem services that “the focus of valuation should be
on marginal changes rather than the “total” value of an ecosystem” (TEEB 2010). For this reason, it is considered
desirable for valuation studies to trace through the gains and value-added that can be ascribed to conservation
or the costs, losses and damages incurred should ecosystems be degraded and biodiversity be lost either relative
to a continuation of the baseline or status quo situation, or in comparison to each other (Figure 7).
Figure 7: The economic impacts of ecosystem change
How conservation scenarios were modelled in the current study
The current study seeks to demonstrate that Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko have value because they serve to
secure, protect and sustain economically-important biodiversity and ecosystem services that would otherwise be
diminished or lost, should the PAs be degraded or cease to exist or should insufficient investments be made to
enable effective conservation management. It therefore models the economic value-added or costs-avoided that
are associated with maintaining the three demonstration sites as conservation landscapes.
To do this, the study first assesses the baseline situation (in step 3): it identifies the services that are currently
being generated by Tangkoko, Bogani and Lore Lindu, and estimates their economic value. It then looks at how
this value might be transformed in the future as a result of the changes in conservation status (and thus
generation of ecosystem services) that would result from a shifts in PA management and financing arrangements
(Step 4). Two scenarios are compared: a continuation of the status quo or “business as usual”, and the removal
of conservation status or “no forest protection (Figure 8). The difference between these two scenarios
represents the loss in economic value that would have been available had conservation investments been

maintained as they are today as compared to a situation where the PAs no longer exist. The scenarios are
modelled over a 25-year period, from 2015-2040.
Figure 8: Modelling the economic impacts of “business as usual” vs. “no forest protection” scenarios
Ideally, the valuation study would model the positive conservation effects that will result from the increased PA
funding and improved management effectiveness to be achieved under E-PASS (the “enhanced investment in
PAs” scenario shown in Figure 8). This would show both the value-added from, and the economic return to, public
investment in PAs. However, as no quantitative information has yet been made available by the project on the
increased funding that will be made available to the three PAs, the changes in conservation status that are
expected to occur as a result, or their biophysical effects in terms of ecosystem service generation, this is not
possible. Once these targets, indicators and projections are developed, they can be incorporated into the
economic model.
The two scenarios are based on the land use and land cover projections made under the deforestation model that
has already been developed by WCS for the E-PASS project. “Business as usual” (which depicts a continuation of
the status quo) reflects deforestation projections based on actual past patterns of land use change within each
PA. “No forest protection” (the scenario that depicts a situation where PA status is removed) extrapolates the
actual rates of forest loss that occurred in the buffer-zones of Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko between 2000-
2015 into the PAs themselves. To account for variation in the rate of habitat degradation and conversion and to
reflect threshold effects, a curvilinear trajectory of change is assumed under the “no forest protection” scenario.
The analysis compares the economic value of ecosystem services under each scenario, and looks at the cumulative
costs or losses that would occur should the three landscapes no longer be protected. Net present values (NPVs)
are calculated by applying a 10 per cent discount rate to streams of future costs and benefits (reflecting the
prevailing opportunity cost of capital in Indonesia).
The study represents a rapid assessment. The available time, data and other resources did not permit anything
more than a very rudimentary scenario analysis to be carried out. Only changes in forest cover and the provision
of selected forest ecosystem services are modelled, and the opportunity costs associated with alternative land
uses that might replace forest are not reflected. No changes in user population or shifts in forest utilisation
patterns are built in. It is assumed that unit forest values vary in direct proportion to changes in forest cover in
each PA, plus a small additional decline in unit real values of 2.5 per cent a year which reflects the decrease in
service quality resulting from forest degradation.

12
The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
It is important to emphasise that, while this type of simplified economic model and ceteris paribus assumptions
are justifiable given the study’s limited scope and resourcing, they represent a considerable oversimplification of
the actual situation. In this kind of valuation exercise, it would usually be expected either that a separate process
would already have been carried out to specify future ecosystem management scenarios, or that they would be
built up with the active participation of key experts and stakeholders as part of the valuation study itself. This
would enable the assumptions and hypotheses used to model changes in key variables to be carefully researched
and thought through, and a detailed set of quantified change estimates to be built up.
Constraints and limitations to economic valuation
It should be emphasised that this PA valuation study is an extremely ambitious one, given that it is based almost
entirely on pre-existing information, and has been carried out over a short time frame and with very limited
resources. This places a number of limitations on the study. Data, in particular, presents a major constraint. The
biophysical and socioeconomic data that are available for Tangkoko, Bogani and Lore Lindu study contain major
gaps, are of doubtful quality and accuracy, and show significant inconsistencies (and even contradictions)
between different sources.
One particularly important set of issues relates to the questions of attribution and incrementality. In most cases,
there is little or no quantitative biophysical evidence about the links between ecosystem status and the provision
of particular services in Tangkoko, Bogani and Lore Lindu. At the same time, it is not known with certainty what
the effects of improved PA management (or, conversely, biodiversity loss and habitat degradation) will be on the
generation of ecosystem services. A related issue is also that insufficient information exists about the non-
linearities and threshold effects in ecosystem functioning. This has implications for the future projections and
scenario modelling that are to be carried out under the study. It should be borne in mind that such figures will
inevitably mask some important elements of ecosystem service values, and over-simplify the complex dynamics
and relationships at play when looking at the impacts of changes in PA management and investment on ecosystem
service provision and economic values.
In summary, both the valuation of the current baseline as regards PA ecosystem services and the extrapolation
of these services and values into the future is imprecise and risky, and involves many unknowns. The study
represents a first attempt to value and model PA ecosystem services in Tangkoko, Bogani and Lore Lindu, and its
findings should be understood within these limitations they are partial, indicative estimates, generated for
communication, awareness and policy/management support purposes. It is to be hoped that as better and more
accurate information becomes available, value estimates can be updated and improved.

FINDINGS: Ecosystem service-economic linkages
Conservation context & socio-economic setting
It is beyond the scope of this report to provide an in-depth analysis of either the natural or human environment
in Bogani, Lore Lindu & Tangkoko PAs. These topics are dealt with in detail elsewhere. The paragraphs below
present only a brief overview of key information, intended to frame the background to the valuation study. They
are drawn primarily from the E-PASS project document (UNDP 2013).
Figure 9: Location of Bogani Nani Wartabone & Lore Lindu NPs and Tangkoko Batuangus NR
Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park
Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park covers an area of 287,115 ha in Gorontalo and Sulawesi Utara Provinces.
With an altitudinal range of 50 to 1,970 m, it includes plateaus, hills and mountainous areas. Dominated by
lowland forest, the park contains almost all of Sulawesi’s endemic mammals and birds. At least 45 of the 125 bird
species recorded in the PA are endemic, including the Cinnabar hawk owl (Ninox ios) which is found nowhere else
but Bogani. The Bone bat (Bonea bidens) is also endemic to the National Park. Twenty four species of mammal
are recorded, including anoa (Bubalus sp), babirusa (Babirussa babirussa), the marsupial cuscus (Phalanger sp.),
various macaques (Macaca heckii, nigra and tonkeana) and the spectral tarsier (Tarsius spectrum).
Ecosystem service-economic linkages

The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
The area around Bogani is occupied mainly by the Mongondow people, and small numbers of the Polahi ethnic
minority group are also said to reside in mountainous regions of the park. Livelihoods in the forest-adjacent area
are based around farming, combining food crops and fruit trees with the cultivation of cash crops such as cacao,
coconut, cloves, coffee and vanilla. A high proportion of local households are reported to farm inside the PA.
Artisanal and industrial gold mining activities also provide a source of income, as well as posing a serious threat
to the National Park. Illegal logging and hunting are also highlighted as key drivers of biodiversity loss.
Lore Lindu National Park
Lore Lindu National Park covers an area of 217,992 ha in Sulawesi Tengah Province. Spread across a landscape of
steep mountains and valleys, it comprises one of the largest remaining mountainous rain forests in Sulawesi,
consisting mainly of montane and submontane forest as well as small areas of lowland forest, flat fertile valleys,
rivers, lakes and hot springs. Forty species of mammal have been recorded (of which 31 are endemic), including
a number of globally-significant species such as the dwarf mountain anoa (Anoa quarlesi), babirusa (Babirussa
babirussa), giant civet (Macrogalidia muschenbroecki), two species of cuscus (Phalanger celebensis and Phalanger
ursinus), Tonkean macaque (Macaca tonkeana) and two species of tarsier (Tarsius dianae and Tarsius pumilus).
Some 225 species of birds are listed (including 78 Sulawesi endemics and 46 restricted-range species), including
maleo (Macrocephalon maleo), red-knobbed hornbill (Rhyticeros cassidix), Sulawesi dwarf hornbill (Penelopides
exarhatus) and Sulawesi hawk-eagle (Spizaetus lanceolatus). Lore Lindu is listed by IUCN as a Centre of Plant
Diversity, by Birdlife International as an Endemic Bird Area and by WWF as a Global 200 eco-region, and was
declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978.
The area around the National Park is sparsely-populated. The buffer-zone community includes indigenous people
from the Pekurehua, Behoa, Napu and Kaili dialect groups, as well as more recent influxes of migrants from South
Sulawesi, Java and Bali (ESG International 2001). Local livelihoods depend primarily on subsistence or semi-
subsistence rice farming, with only limited cultivation of cash crops such as coffee, cacao and cloves. A wide range
of non-timber forest products are collected for home use and sale, and illegal timber harvesting inside the park
has led to the depletion of several commercially-valuable species (ESG International 2001). With demands for
agricultural land intensifying, creeping encroachment into the National Park is also resulting in deforestation and
habitat fragmentation. A series of land disputes along the park boundary is said to have created barriers to
effective management (Acciaioli 2008a,b). Two inhabited enclaves are located within the geographic boundaries
of Lore Lindu, but are excluded from the Park.
Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve
Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve is located in Sulawesi Utara Province. It comprises a complex of different
land management zones. The conservation landscape incorporates Dua Saudara and Gunung Tangkoko Nature
Reserves, Gunung Klabat, Wiau and Pulau Lembeh Protection Forests (including areas that had previously been
turned over to coconut), Batuangus and Batu Putih Recreation Forests, and a marine strip some 12 km long and
500m wide. In total, the Nature Reserve covers an area of 8,665 ha. It is dominated by lowland tropical rainforest,
and also contains small areas of coastal forest, mangrove, coral reef and sandy beaches. The PA complex provides
habitat to a number of endangered and iconic species, including lowland anoa (Buballus spp.), giant civet
(Macrogalidia muschenbroecki), bear cuscus (Phalanger ursinus), Sulawesi dwarf cuscus (Strigocuscus celebensis)
and spectral tarsier (Tarsius spectrum), as well as almost all of the remaining population of crested black macaque

(Macaca nigra). Birds of particular conservation interest include the maleo (Macrocephalon maleo), red-knobbed
hornbill (Rhyticeros cassidix) and Sulawesi hornbill (Rhabdotorrhinus exarhatus).
The area surrounding the PA is densely-populated, but has very limited agricultural potential. Almost no rice is
cultivated; the main food crops are maize and cassava. Large areas are given over to smallholder estate crops
such as coconut, cloves, nutmeg and cacao, and there are also several larger commercial plantations. Fisheries
play a key role in local livelihoods, and there is some livestock production. Land conversion for settlement and
farming are cited as the most critical threats to biodiversity, as well as illegal timber harvesting and the removal
of other forest products.
Protected area ecosystem services
Given the exceptional biodiversity and natural habitats they contain, it is hardly surprising that Bogani, Lore Lindu
and Tangkoko generate a rich array of ecosystem services. As described in the following paragraphs, these
ecosystem services benefit a wide range of sectors and stakeholder groups, at local, national and even global
levels. Seven categories of provisioning, regulating, supporting and cultural services were identified which are
common to all three PAs, together comprising at least 18 distinct services (Figure 10).
Figure 10: PA ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu & Tangkoko
Wild products harvested for home consumption and commercial purposes: Although the extraction of
forest resources for commercial purposes is not strictly permitted, in practice a wide range of timber and non-
timber products are harvested by the households that live around Bogani, Tangkoko and (especially) Lore Lindu.
Commonly-collected products include bamboo, bamboo shoots, candlenut, palm fibres, palm sugar, pandan
leaves, rattan and resins, as well as a variety of wild foods and medicines. Trees in the PAs are also utilised for
firewood and charcoal, and as a source of timber for house construction, boat-building and other purposes.
Watershed protection – hydrological services: Many rivers and streams rise within, or pass through, Bogani,
Lore Lindu and (to a lesser extent) Bogani. Forests and natural vegetation play an important role in controlling
runoff and infiltration, minimising erosion, siltation and sedimentation, thereby helping to regulate downstream
waterflow and water quality.
Ecosystem service-economic linkages
16

Watershed protection – disaster risk reduction: PA watershed protection functions are particularly important,
given the steep slopes, hills and mountains which are a feature in all three PAs, as well as the heavy rainfall that
characterises the region. The areas downstream of Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko are prone to flooding and
landslides. PA watershed protection services make a critical contribution towards minimising and mitigating these
natural hazards.
Climate regulation: Forest biomass and soils in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko constitute an important carbon
sink. The maintenance of forest quality and cover via the PA system also serves as a source of carbon
sequestration and avoided emissions. In addition to these global climate mitigation effects, the PAs fulfil
important micro-climatic regulation functions. The large tracts of forest exert an appreciable influence on local
temperature, precipitation and wind conditions. As well as influencing ecological processes such as plant
regeneration and growth, soil respiration and nutrient cycling within the PAs, these effects are felt in the forest-
adjacent area, especially through creating favourable conditions for settlement and agriculture.
Biodiversity and wildlife habitat: As described above, all three PAs contain outstanding biodiversity. These
fauna and flora include rare, endangered and unique species which are of global conservation significance. Their
conservation also maintains an in-situ gene pool which may have future pharmaceutical, agricultural, nutritional
or industrial applications. The PAs also provide important habitat and refuge for insects, birds, bats and other
mammals which play a key role in crop pollination, seed dispersal and pest control for surrounding farms.
Spiritual, symbolic and aesthetic: As well hosting globally-significant biodiversity, Bogani, Lore Lindu and
Tangkoko form a component of the local cultural landscape. They variously represent a source of customary
territory, livelihoods, knowledge, practices, history, tradition and – in some instances – spiritual or sacred values.
The three PAs are also a core part of Sulawesi’s natural heritage, and as such hold considerable significance in
emblematic and bequest terms, largely due to the unique and iconic fauna that they contain.
Recreation and learning: The unique, interesting and attractive landscape features, biodiversity and ecological
processes described above, as well as their symbolic and aesthetic associations, mean that Bogani, Lore Lindu and
Tangkoko support a wide variety of recreational and learning activities. A large number of scientific research
protects are being carried out in the three PAs, and school trips and study tours regularly visit for educational
purposes. In addition, all three sites are important tourist destinations, for both Indonesian and foreign visitors.
Economic benefits & stakeholders
The ecosystem services described above generate a diverse array of benefits, for a wide variety of stakeholder
groups (Figure 11). These economic linkages and beneficiaries stretch across multiple sectors and levels of scale.
At a very local level, buffer-zone households gain from a supply of natural materials for direct consumption or
sale in a raw or processed form (for instance the foods, fuels, medicines, construction materials and other
commodities fabricated from forest products). Producers and businesses in the forest-adjacent area additionally
benefit from conditions which enable, support or add value to other sectors and industries (such as crop
production or nature-based tourism and research). PA ecosystem services also save costs and help to avert
damages across – and even beyond – Gorontalo, Sulawesi Tengah and Sulawesi Utara Provinces (for example to
downstream water supplies, hydropower, irrigation, aquaculture, for the residents of flood and landslide-prone
areas and members of the global community who stand to be affected by climate change).

Meanwhile, even groups that have no direct interaction with Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko benefit from their
biodiversity and ecosystem services, including those associated with knowledge and learning, scientific
discoveries and non-material values. In turn, all of these activities and processes give rise to a number of
secondary economic effects and indirect benefits, for example to the businesses that are involved in trading,
processing and retailing natural products and PA-dependent goods (such as crops), through the multiplier effects
associated with the spending, income and employment they stimulate (for example from hotels and restaurants
involved in the tourist trade), and via the generation of taxes and public revenues (for instance from hydropower,
water supplies, agriculture and tourism activities).
Figure 11: Ecosystem services, economic linkages and beneficiaries
As described in Chapter 1, the terms of reference define the scope of the study as “a rapid assessment of the
economic values of 2-3 key ecosystem services which are applicable across Tangkoko, Lore Lindu and the Bogani
landscape”. It further suggests that that the ecosystem services selected for analysis should be those that “give
direct economic benefits to people” and are “critical to human health and survival and/or critical to livelihood”.
The quantitative assessment of stakeholders, benefits and economic footprints described in the remaining
sections of this chapter and the monetary valuation presented in Chapter 4 are therefore confined to these key
ecosystem services.
Four categories of ecosystem-economic benefits were selected for further analysis, based on a prioritisation
exercise undertaken at a stakeholder consultation workshop attended by rangers and E-PASS staff from Tangkoko,
Bogani and Lore Lindu PAs, and subsequently further elaborated and agreed at a meeting with BAPPENAS staff
and consultants working on E-PASS outputs 2.2 and 2.3. These are: local use of forest products; watershed
protection for water supply and disaster risk reduction; wild insect/animal pollination, seed dispersal and pest
control; and nature-based tourism and research. In turn, three main stakeholder groups benefit directly from
these ecosystem services, and are described in the paragraphs below: buffer-zone households, downstream
communities and recreational visitors.

Buffer-zone households
The buffer-zone is defined as the area located within 5 km of the PA boundary, considered to be the main area of
direct influence in terms of forest use, participation in tourist activities, micro-climate regulation and impact of
wild pollinator species. Just over 150,000 people or 36,000 households live in the buffer-zone around Bogani,
48,000 people and 11,000 households in Lore Lindu and 115,000 people and 28,000 households in Tangkoko
(Table 4; Data annex Table 20, Table 21, Table 22). Bogani and (especially) Lore Lindu buffer-zones are relatively
sparsely populated and predominantly rural, whereas the area around Tangkoko PA is much more densely-settled
and better-connected to transport, infrastructure and commercial centres (Figure 12).

Bogani and Lore Lindu buffer-zones are dominated by forest, which comprises a half or more of total land area,
with the remainder divided between agriculture, mixed crops and shrubland (around a third of land area),
shrublands, grasslands, swamp and other land uses (Figure 13, Figure 14; also see Data annex Table 23). The area
around Tangkoko contains little or no forest. More than 80 per cent of the buffer-zone is composed of agriculture
or mixed crops/shrubland, reflecting the relatively dense settlements and intensive land use patterns that are
found in the area.

The catchments downstream of Bogani and Lore Lindu are dominated by forest, which covers more than 60 per
cent and three quarters respectively of total land area (Figure 16; also see Data annex Table 25, Table 23).
Agriculture (predominantly smallholder paddy, food and horticultural crops) covers just 15 per cent of land area
downstream from Bogani and 7 per cent downstream from Lore Lindu. As was the case in the buffer-zone, the
forest occupies a relatively small proportion – around a quarter – of Bogani’s downstream catchment. Farmland
accounts for more than 50 per cent of area, all accounted for by rainfed smallholder crops, and there is also an
appreciable amount of land (just over 8 per cent) given over to settlement and infrastructure.

Just under 15 per cent of the area downstream from Bogani and more than 450,000 people face a moderate or
high risk of floods, while almost all (more than a million people) live in moderate or high landslide risk areas (Table
6, Figure 17). More than 30 per cent of the watershed and 184,000 people downstream of Lore Lindu are located
in flood risk zones, while 66 per cent of the watershed and 330,000 people face the risk of landslides. Downstream
of Tangkoko, flood risk zones cover a negligible area, while around 17 per cent of the downstream area and 13,000
people face the risk of landslides.

Recreational visitors & researchers
On average just under a thousand Indonesian visitors and 130 foreign visitors a year visited Bogani Nani
Wartabone National Park between 2012-2016, and 40 researchers were recorded in 2016 (Table 7). Average
annual figures of 3,200 Indonesian visitors, 300 foreign visitors and 66 Indonesian researchers were registered
for Lore Lindu National Park, while Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve and its surrounding area hosted an
estimated 3,600 Indonesian visitors, 8,400 foreign visitors and 45 research projects.

The economic footprint of PA ecosystem services
The role of forest goods and services in buffer-zone livelihoods
Figure 18: Summary of the economic footprint of forest goods and services on buffer-zone livelihoods
The household survey underlines that a significant proportion of buffer-zone households rely in some way on
forest products collected inside PAs, with local use being particularly pronounced in Lore Lindu. Some 36 per cent
of households harvest at least one forest product in Bogani, 62 per cent in Lore Lindu and 10 per cent in Tangkoko,
with fuelwood collection being by far the most common activity in all three PAs (Figure 19). A relatively wide
range of other products are also harvested, albeit by a small minority of households, in Bogani and Lore Lindu,
Ecosystem service-economic linkages

29
including bamboo and bamboo shoots, candlenut, charcoal, game meat, palm fibre, palm sugar, rattan, resin,
timber and various wild food plants. In Tangkoko, very few households participate in forest activities, and the
focus is on a small range of products: fuelwood, bamboo, hunting, palm fibre and wild food plants. While fuelwood
and wild food plants are primarily collected for home consumption, other products are harvested wholly or in
part for income-generating purposes. In Bogani, all of the households that collect candlenut, palm fibre, palm
sugar and timber from the PA sell their harvest, and in Lore Lindu, candlenut, palm sugar, resin and timber are
key sources of cash income.
Figure 19: Forest product harvests and sales by buffer-zone households

These findings concur with observations made elsewhere in the literature. A study on local perceptions of
biodiversity conservation carried out around Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park for example found that
adjacent villagers ascribe a relatively high utilitarian value to forest goods and services, particularly to products
that are important for home use and income such as bamboo, rattan, hunting and wild food plants (Kartikasari
2008). Similarly, choice experiment surveys carried out around Lore Lindu National Park show that buffer-zone
households express a substantial economic preference both for direct use values such as the availability of rattan
and water, and ecosystem regulating and supporting services such as protection against soil erosion and flooding
(Barkmann et al. 2007, Glenk et al. 2006a,b).
Agriculture provides the major source of subsistence and income for household living around Bogani and Lore
Lindu National Parks, and plays a key (although lesser) role in Tangkoko. Smallholder farming systems incorporate
a fairly wide range of crops in addition to paddy, including maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, vegetables and fruits
as well as cash crops such as candlenut, cashew, cacao, coconut, coffee, cloves, kapok, nutmeg and rubber. The
dependence of many of these crops on the pollination, pest control and seed dispersal services provided by forest-
dependent insects, birds and mammals has already been described above, in Chapter 2 (see Table 3).
Ecosystem service-economic linkages

The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
The importance of Indonesia’s forests and PAs as a source of living, breeding and foraging habitat for animal
(particularly insect) pollinators has also been noted elsewhere in the literature. In Sumatra, for example, it has
been found that Insect pollinators, seed predators, decomposers, and parasitoids are highly susceptible to the
adverse effects of forest fragmentations and habitat loss (Siregar et al. 2016). Around Lore Lindu, empirical data
demonstrate that the functional consequences of the shifts in species richness and composition associated with
forest conversion are manifested as a decrease in the diversity of forest-using insect species, and may result in
more regular outbreaks of crop pests as well as the disruption of pollination processes (Steffan-Dewentera et al.
2007). In farms located on Lore Lindu’s north-east border, the value of natural forest pollination services to coffee
production has been estimated at some EUR 46 per hectare per year (Priess et al. 2007).
As documented in Chapter 2, the primary impacts of forest-dependent species in terms of enhanced crop yields
are felt within 1.5 km of the forest’s edge. In Bogani there are more than 25,800 hectares of cropland within 1.5
km of the PA boundary, in Lore Lindu 24,300 ha and in Tangkoko 8,700 ha (Table 8; also see Data annex Table 29,
Table 30, Table 31). Close to 3 per cent of production by value in Lore Lindu depends on wild animal pollination,
pest control and seed dispersal, almost 2.5 per cent in Tangkoko, and just over 1 per cent in Bogani. The relatively
low dependence in Bogani is because such a small proportion of the crops cultivated in the area under rainfed
farming (the dominant land use) depend on insect pollinators.

As already described above, an average of 1,100 tourists and 45 researchers a year visit Bogani, 3,500 tourists
and 66 researchers visit Lore Lindu, and 12,000 tourists and 45 researchers visit Tangkoko (Table 7). The tourism
sector supports a modest amount of economic activity in Bogani and Lore Lindu buffer-zones and a fairly
significant number of enterprises in Tangkoko (this is described in more detail in the final section of this chapter).
In total, it is estimated that up to 100 people are employed in Bogani as guides, workers in research projects or
in the 7 hotels, guesthouses and restaurants and 40 other tourism-related jobs operating in the buffer-zone, 18
people and 3 enterprises in Lore Lindu and 151 people and 33 enterprises in Tangkoko (Table 9).
The benefits of forest watershed protection for downstream settlements & industries
Figure 20: Summary of the economic footprint of PA watershed protection on downstream communities
While both Bogani and Lore Lindu serve important watershed protection functions, this role is less pronounced
for Tangkoko (Table 5, Table 10). Although Tangkoko overlaps 12 sub-watersheds it is located close to the
coastline, meaning that there is not a large populated area downstream of the PA. Just 154,000 people live in this
300 km
2
catchment. A total of 25 sub-watersheds rise inside Bogani, serving an area of more than 8,200 km
2
and
a population of 1 million (see Data annex Table 24 for details). The main water uses in the downstream area are
smallholder irrigation, micro-hydropower and domestic consumption. There are few industrial or large-scale
water users.
Lore Lindu overlaps with three large sub-catchments: Lariang Hulu, Palu and Sausu, serving a downstream
population of some 435,000 people spread across almost 10,800 km
2
. The PA forms the headwaters of the Lariang
and Gumbasa (a tributary of the Palu), two of the largest and most economically-important rivers in Sulawesi
Tengah Province (ESG International 2001). The Gumbasa River supplies Palu City (which depends largely on
groundwater reserves), as well as a variety of other towns, settlements and industries, and is heavily utilised for
irrigation. It is also seen as having great hydropower potential, although this has not yet been developed. The
Lariang River provides an important source of domestic and agricultural water to downstream rural villages.

Putting these data together shows that, in total, the surface and groundwater sources that are protected in some
way by the Bogani PA landscape provide domestic water supplies of some 34.8 million m
3
a year and irrigate more
than 40,600 ha of crop land (Table 10, also see Data annex Table 26 for details). This water consumption is worth
some USD 9.5 billion when valued at the average lowest-band domestic piped water tariff for Gorontalo and
Sulawesi Utara, and the gross value of crop production is USD 62.9 million according to local farm gate prices in
relevant regencies and cities. The 14.6 million m
3
of domestic water use in Lore Lindu sub-watersheds is worth
USD 4 billion and the 29,800 ha of irrigated rice USD 46.1 million, while Tangkoko helps to protect 6.3 billion m
3
of water supplies valued at USD 1.7 billion and 240 ha of irrigated rice with a gross market value of USD 310,000.

According to the National Disaster Management Authority, the areas downstream of Bogani have suffered more
than 140 flood and landslide events since 2005, impacting on more than 120,000 people (BNPB 2017). At least
150 events have occurred downstream of Lore Lindu over the same period, affecting almost 35,000 people, and
in the catchment below Tangkoko 10 events have been recorded involving than 4,500 people. As described above,
watershed forests in the PAs also play a key role in helping to avoid or mitigate downstream floods and landslides.
Although there are few studies referring to Bogani or Tangkoko, hydrological modelling in the Gumbasa
catchment clearly demonstrates that there is a strong relationship between deforestation and discharge
variability (Leemhuis et al. 2007). Landslides and flooding, resulting in damage to houses and crops, has been
reported in areas downstream of Lore Lindu along the Sopu, Gumbasa, Palu and Halua Rivers; this is attributed to
the elevated runoff, topsoil loss and sediment transport arising from forest degradation in the upper catchment
(ESG International 2001).

As already described above (Table 6), almost half a million people downstream of Bogani live in moderate or high
flood-risk areas and close to a million reside in landslide-risk areas (Table 11, also see Data annex Table 27 and
Ecosystem service-economic linkages
The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
33
Table 28). More than 180,000 people live in flood-prone areas of the sub-watersheds that overlap Lore Lindu and
330,000 are located in landslide zones. Tangkoko protects a watershed that contains 66,500 people living in flood-
risk zones and 13,500 in landslide-risk zones. BY reducing the likelihood of these natural disasters occurring, as
well as mitigating their severity and impact, the PAs help to avoid a wide range of costs and losses (for example
to farms, housing, roads and other infrastructure and assets). Just considering the value of crop production that
that is protected, potentially-avoided damages total up to USD 137 million for flood-risk areas and USD 327 million
for landslide-risk areas downstream of Bogani, USD 81 million and USD 31 million respectively for Lore Lindu, and
USD 4 million and USD 5 million for Tangkoko (Table 11).
The contribution of PA travel & tourism to the Sulawesi economy
Figure 21: Summary of the economic footprint of PA travel & tourism on the Sulawesi economy
Sulawesi’s exceptional biodiversity and landscapes make it a nature-based tourism site of international
importance; most tourism in central and northern parts of the island is centred around natural and cultural
attractions (Hakim et al. 2012). Although some specialist nature tourists (mainly birdwatchers) come to Sulawesi
specifically to visit Bogani, Lore Lindu or Tangkoko, most foreign (and some Indonesian) visitors spend time in the
three PAs as part of a larger circuit which incorporates other sites such as Manado, Tomohon, Bitung,
Kotamobagu, Bunaken National Park, Lembeh Island and the Togean Islands.
There is a small, but growing, tourism industry in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, mainly based around
hiking, bird-watching and wildlife viewing. Although an average of only around 1,000 visitors visit the PA each
year, of which just 11 per cent are foreign, numbers have been rising steadily over the years (Ross and Wall 1999).
Local entrepreneurship in the travel and tourism sector is said to have expanded by more than 60% since 2008,
resulting in a revenue increase of 100% over the last three years. Most foreign tourists and around half of
Indonesian visitors travel as part of a tour group. Almost all foreign tourists spend at least one night close to the
PA, and although less than a third of Indonesian visitors stay overnight, those that do are estimated to spend a
relatively longer time in the area (average trip length is 4 days as compared to 2 days for foreign tourists).
Ecosystem service-economic linkages
34
The economic value of ecosystem services in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, Sulawesi
An average of just over 3,500 tourists visit Lore Lindu National Park each year, more than 90 per cent of whom
are Indonesian. Almost all travel as part of group tours, and many spend the night close to the PA: Lore Lindu is
relatively remote and difficult to access. The main entry points are Palu, Poso and Tentena Cities. Although there
is no accommodation inside the National Park, there are a number of guest houses and campsites in the buffer-
zone as well as in nearby towns. The main activities are bird-watching and wildlife viewing, mountain climbing
and trekking to scenic sites such as Lindu and Tambing lakes, hot springs and waterfalls. The National Park also
contains a number of carved megaliths, and organised tours (especially for foreign visitors) often include visits to
‘traditional’ villages.
The Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve complex supports a relatively well-developed tourism industry, hosting
an estimated 12,000 visitors a year, 70 per cent of whom are foreign. Around half are recorded as entering the
PA. Most tourism activities are focused around Batuputih and Batuangus recreational forests. A number of trails
and sites have been developed inside the PA, taking in springs, waterfalls, caves and mountains, as well as the
black-sand beaches and coral reefs of the coastal strip. Tangkoko is a renowned bird-watching destination, and
many visitors also come to view its rare and endangered wildlife species (such as cuscus, tarsier and macaque).
Due to its proximity to Manado and other urban centres, a relatively small proportion of visitors remain overnight:
most are day-trippers or are visiting Tangkoko en route to (or from) Bunaken National Marine Park.
Accounting for the differential composition of recreational visitors (Indonesian and foreign tourists, independent
and group travellers, overnight and day visitors), this translates into almost 2,200 visitor days a year spent in and
around Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, 4,700 visitor days in Lore Lindu National Park, and as many as
20,400 visitor days in Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve (Table 12).

The direct business and employment effects of these activities have already been described above as they relate
to buffer-zone livelihoods. Tourism however also has much more far-reaching economic impacts, which stretch
across the Sulawesi and even national - economy. These include the considerable income, investment and
employment multiplier effects leveraged by visitor spending, as well as from the wide range of secondary and
support industries that supply the tourism sector (for example food production, furniture and fittings, transport
and financial services). Applying the multipliers described above in Chapter 2 (based on those in WTTC 2015)
suggests that in total PA tourism in Bogani supports almost 290 indirect and induced jobs, Lore Lindu supports 35
jobs, and Tangkoko supports 264 jobs.

In line with differential patterns and rates of use, the composition of forest product values varies considerably
between the three sites (Figure 22). Just five products – candlenut, hunting, palm sugar, fuelwood and bamboo
contribute 99 per cent of value in Bogani, while in Lore Lindu candlenut and hunting comprise more than two
thirds of the total. Bamboo accounts for virtually the entire value of forest product utilisation in Tangkoko.

The collection of forest products for sale is important in all three sites, contributing something around two thirds
of the total value of harvested products in Bogani and Lore Lindu and just under half in Tangkoko (Figure 23).

Watershed protection for water supply and disaster risk reduction
As explained in Chapter 2, lack of biophysical data linking forest cover to downstream hydrology meant that
benefit transfer techniques were used to value forest watershed protection services, drawing on 20 estimates
generated in other parts of Indonesia and surrounding ASEAN countries. This gave an average annual value of IDR
2.48 million (USD 185) per hectare of watershed forest. This figure was weighted according to the amount of
watershed forest in different slope classes in each PA. Almost 90 per cent of forest in Bogani and Lore Lind is
located on slopes above 15 per cent (the cut-off point below which forest cover is not considered to play a
significant role in watershed protection as compared to alternative land uses), and just over three quarters in
Tangkoko (Figure 24; also see Data annex Table 24).

Applying the weighted unit values gave a total watershed protection value of IDR 389 billion (USD 29.14 million)
for Bogani, IDR 305 billion (USD 22.79 million) for Lore Lindu and IDR 6 billion (USD 457,000) for Tangkoko (Table

Crop pollination, seed dispersal and pest control
Crop pollination, seed dispersal and pest control services were valued across a 1.5 km band around the perimeter
of each PA – the main area of influence of forest-dwelling species. Applying the dependency ratios laid out in
Chapter 2 to account for the share of crop production associated with wild animal pollination yielded annual
values of some IDR 2.14 billion (USD 0.16 million) for Bogani, IDR 6.36 billion (USD 0.48 million) for Lore Lindu and
IDR billion (USD 0.08 million) for Tangkoko (Table 15; also see Data annex Table 29, Table 30, Table 31).

Nature-based tourism and research
As explained in Chapter 2, a variety of methods were used to calculate PA tourism and research values in Bogani,
Lore Lindu and Tangkoko. Visitor expenditures on entry fees, research permits, transport, accommodation, meals,
guide fees and other direct trip costs were estimated using actual market prices. The visitor profiles outlined in
Chapter 3 (see Table 12) were used to differentiate spending patterns between foreign, Indonesian, independent,
group, overnight and day tourists. For foreign tourists a multiplier was applied to account for indirect and induced
leisure spending, based on the factors indicated in the tourism satellite accounts for Indonesia calculated by the
World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC 2015). Multipliers were also applied to provide estimates of indirect and
induced jobs and employment earnings. Visitor consumer surplus (reflecting a range of non-use values and
additional willingness to pay for biodiversity conservation) was calculated using benefit transfer techniques,
drawing on 10 estimates generated in other parts of Indonesia and surrounding ASEAN countries.
Combining these different components suggests that, in total, PA travel and tourism is worth some IDR 6.20 billion
(USD 464,000) a year in Bogani, IDR 6.16 billion (USD 461,000) in Lore Lindu and IDR 123.37 billion (USD 9.2
million) in Tangkoko (Table 16).

Combined baseline ecosystem service value
Putting together the figures described in the paragraphs above yields a baseline value for the selected ecosystem
services of IDR 484.87 billion (USD 36.3 million) for Bogani, IDR 431.77 billion (USD 32.3 million) for Lore Lindu
and IDR 133.85 billion (USD 10.0 million) for Tangkoko (Table 17).

Converting these estimates to unit values per hectare of forest yields similar figures for Bogani and Lore Lindu
(IDR 1.82 million / USD 136 and IDR 2.11 million / USD 158 respectively). The much lower absolute value and
higher unit value (IDR 23.52 million / USD 1,760) for Tangkoko is due to its small size as compared to the other
two sites.
The relative importance of different ecosystem service values also varies between the three PAs (Figure 25). In
Bogani and Lore Lindu, watershed protection values dominate, reflecting the key role that the two sites play in
regulating waterflow and quality and mitigating floods and landslides over a large downstream area and
population. Local forest utilisation, too, makes a marked (although relatively lower) contribution towards total
value, especially in Lore Lindu, while the share of tourism values remains insignificant. As yet, PA tourism and
recreation has not been developed to any great extent in either site. In contrast, for Tangkoko, tourism comprises
the vast majority of PA value. The small downstream area and population, minor role of agriculture in the forest-
adjacent area, and low levels of forest utilisation by local communities mean that none of these ecosystem
services generate significant value.

The economic impacts of ecosystem change
As explained in Chapter 2, the study addressed the economic impacts of ecosystem change. It seeks to
demonstrate the value-added or costs-avoided associated with maintaining the three demonstration sites as
conservation landscapes (or, conversely, to demonstrate the costs, losses and damages that would arise with the
removal of their protected status, and the land conversion and forest degradation that would ensue). Three
alternative scenarios were compared (Figure 26, also see Data annex Table 32 and Table 33):
Business as usual, under which Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko remain as PAs, and the past patterns of
land use change recorded within each PA persist;
No forest protection, under which Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko lose their PA status, and are subject
to the same rates of deforestation and land use change as has been occurring in their buffer-zones; and
Continuation of the baseline, under which there is no change at all in either forest cover or the
conservation status of Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko. This represents the reference point against
which the other two scenarios are measured and compared.

protection scenarios, 2015-40
Source: WCS deforestation modelling.
In line with these deforestation projections, ecosystem service values show a modest decline in all three PAs
under business as usual, and register a sharp – and progressive – fall under no forest protection (Figure 27).

Looking at the net present value (NPV) of the selected forest ecosystem services over the next 25 years underlines
the substantial loss in value that would result from the removal of PA status. Whereas a continuation of business
as usual will serve to secure ecosystem services with a NPV of IDR 4.3 trillion (USD 319.5 million) in Bogani, IDR
3.9 trillion (USD 293.7 million) in Lore Lindu and IDR 1 trillion (USD 77.8 million) in Tangkoko, these figures fall
under the no forest protection scenario to IDR 3 trillion (USD 225 million), IDR 2.9 trillion (USD 215 million) and
IDR 616 billion (USD 46.1 million) respectively (Table 18).

Comparing the worst-case scenario of no forest protection with the baseline provides an indication of the
economic costs associated with losing PA status. The difference between these two scenarios represents the
damages and losses that would result if Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko reverted to the same land management
regime as their buffer-zones: it shows the loss in economic value that would have been available had conservation
investments been maintained as they are today as compared to a situation where the PAs no longer exist. This

These figures are also indicative of the potential costs avoided or value-added from maintaining the conservation
status of the three sites as it is today. Not only does this demonstrate a high NPV for each PA (as shown in Table
19 above), but the absolute value of the benefits generated are also substantial. The cumulative value-added to
2040 from continued protection (over and above the values that would be available if the PAs were being
deforested at the same rate as in their buffer-zones) is almost IDR 5.8 trillion (USD 436 million) for Bogani, IDR
4.5 trillion (USD 337 million) for Lore Lindu and IDR 2.3 trillion (USD 173 million) for Tangkoko (Figure 28).

CONCLUSIONS: Making the economic case for PA investments
The economic gains from investing in Sulawesi’s protected areas
The figures presented in this report have implications for PA management. Traditionally, when economists
undertake the calculations which are used to inform decisions about what would be the ‘best’ or ‘most profitable’
land, resource and investment choices, they have excluded these kinds of values. The tendency has been to focus
only on commercial (mainly extractive) activities, not on the flows of goods and services that lie outside formal
markets and pricing mechanisms – even when these goods and services have a far higher economic value, and
reach, than the raw materials and physical products that economists have conventionally limited their analysis to.
As a consequence, decisions have often been made on the basis of incomplete – and, in the worst case, flawed
and misleading – information. Unsurprisingly, biodiversity conservation has rarely emerged as profitable land,
resource or investment options especially when compared to those that yield much more obvious and
immediate cash benefits (for example timber extraction or agriculture). Not only does this lead to an inherent
bias against investments in PAs, but it also impacts negatively on the groups and sectors that depend most on
biodiversity and ecosystem services for their economic wellbeing.
Figure 29: PA ecosystem values for key stakeholder groups
The key message from the current study is that the ‘hidden’ economic value of PAs is immense. Even though it
has been possible to only quantify a small proportion of the total economic value of each landscape, the rapid
economic assessment makes it clear that the ecosystem services provided by Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko
leave a substantial economic footprint. Just looking at four key ecosystem services shows an overall value of
hundreds of billions of Rupiah (tens of millions of US Dollars) a year –
some USD 36 million (
IDR 484.87 billion)
or
USD 136/ha/year in Bogani, USD 32 million (

earnings for buffer-zone residents, reduce damages to downstream communities, and stimulate economic
activity, income and employment across and even beyond Sulawesi (Figure 29). It is also worth noting that many
are inaccessible or unaffordable elsewhere, especially to poorer and more vulnerable members of society.
Over time, all three PAs have registered a decline in forest cover – and look set to continue to do so in the future
unless action is taken to improve management effectiveness. The valuation study provides an indication of the
economic losses that might result from a failure to act. If the three sites were to lose their protected status, and
be subject to the same threats, pressures and rates of deforestation as are occurring outside their boundaries,
trillions of Rupiahs (or hundreds of millions of US dollars) of economic benefits that would otherwise be available
will be lost over the next 25 years – the costs to 2040 will total around USD 436 million (IDR 5.8 trillion) in Bogani,
USD 337 million (IDR 4.5 trillion) in Lore Lindu and USD 173 million (IDR 2.3 billion) in Tangkoko.
Such figures provide a strong economic and development rationale for investing in Bogani Nani Wartabone and
Lore Lindu National Parks and Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve, so as to sustain the flow of valuable
ecosystem services. Although the values calculated in the current study cannot simply be extrapolated across
Sulawesi’s entire PA system, its findings have direct application to other sites (and the valuation approach and
methodology can in principle be replicated elsewhere). The overarching message is that any loss of PA biodiversity
and ecosystem services poses a grave economic risk to many different groups, sectors and production processes.
Conversely, undertaking the investments and activities that are required to improve PA conservation status and
management effectiveness has the potential to leverage considerable economic gains.
A final point to make concerns the future direction of ecosystem valuation in Sulawesi’s PAs. Here, two key issues
emerge. The first concerns the importance of providing quantitative evidence of the positive impacts of
biodiversity conservation on ecosystem service provision. The current study has made ‘the economic case’ for
the three E-PASS demonstration sites in terms of avoiding the damages, costs and losses that are associated with
deforestation. Generating this kind of information can provide convincing and usually much-needed
arguments to support biodiversity conservation and PA investments. It has not, however, been possible to value
the economic returns to investing in enhanced biodiversity conservation and management effectiveness.
One reason for this is that the incremental costs of achieving these improvements are not yet known. It is however
intended that output 2.2 of E-PASS will in due course “project the financial needs for basic and optimal PA
management and expansion across all provinces over the next 10 years”. Another binding information gap is the
lack of biophysical data on the causal links between strengthened management effectiveness, enhanced
biodiversity conservation and improvements in the quality and flow of ecosystem services. At present, this
evidence does not exist. A clear priority for the future and for the E-PASS project – is to make efforts to generate
these (largely biophysical) data. Only then will it be possible to make a truly convincing economic case for
enhanced PA investments in terms of the positive gains that would result.
The second priority is underline the importance of going beyond merely seeking to generate numbers on the
monetary value of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Ideally, valuation should be integrated into a broader
process of PA management planning. In particular, it can provide important information to guide the process of
identifying needs, niches and opportunities to use economic and financial tools to strengthen biodiversity
conservation. This provides the ‘bridge’ between the current study and other parts of E-PASS component 2 and
is addressed below, in the final section of the report.

Capturing ecosystem values as conservation incentives & finance
While many actions are required to for strengthen biodiversity conservation and improve PA management
effectiveness in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko, enhanced investment is one very important and necessary
condition (although, it should be emphasised, will not by itself be sufficient). In response to this need, the second
intended outcome of E-PASS is to “increase the financial sustainability of the Sulawesi PA system”, including
outputs 2.2 (develop a Sulawesi-level PA system financing strategy and pilot provincial-level plans) and 2.3
(expand and diversify revenue generation for PA management).
It is now widely recognised that that
a
chieving financial sustainability is a far more complex challenge than just
securing enough money to cover the direct costs of managing PAs, and that conservation budgets and financing
strategies must recognise (and attempt to cover) multiple types of costs and cost-bearers (see, for example,
Emerton et al. 2005). At least two elements need to be incorporated into attempts to “enhance PA investment”,
which go beyond merely looking to generate new and additional revenues and funding. These are: securing and
sustaining the financial flows that are required to cover the direct physical costs of PA management, and setting
in place the incentives that are needed to enable, empower and encourage people to conserve biodiversity in the
course of their economic activities.
The valuation study makes it clear that Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko generate substantial economic benefits
for a wide range of stakeholders. Yet, however great the economic value of biodiversity is demonstrated to be in
theory or on paper, this has little meaning unless there are real changes in the economic conditions and
opportunities faced by the people that depend and impact on PA land, resources and ecosystem services. In a
similar vein, however convinced decision-makers are that it is in the public interest to conserve PAs and to take
action against biodiversity loss, this will have only minor impacts unless there are adequate resources to finance
these actions, and people perceive there to be sufficient gains from doing so.
Figure 30: Identifying needs, niches and opportunities to strengthen conservation finance and incentives
Various economic and financial instruments offer a means of overcoming these financial and economic challenges
(and of taking advantage of these financial and economic opportunities). This forms the focus of third tier of the
TEEB approach described in Chapter 2: capturing the value of ecosystem services and seeking solutions. This
involves identifying where (and for whom) there are uncompensated conservation costs, unrewarded
conservation actions, unpenalized environmental damages and uncaptured ecosystem opportunities, and

understanding how these inequities and imbalances might result in unsupportive economic and financial
conditions for effective PA management (Figure 30).
Here it is not so much the absolute value of PA biodiversity and ecosystem services that is the primary concern,
but rather how these values are distributed and how far they are actually captured as conservation finance and
incentives. In many ways the situation in Bogani, Lore Lindu and Tangkoko is typical of that faced in most PAs in
Sulawesi. The groups that bear the main costs of PA conservation do not necessarily reap its rewards (or do not
gain at a level or in a form that is commensurate with the costs they bear). Most obviously, forest-adjacent
communities receive only limited economic benefits from PAs, while bearing the bulk of the opportunity costs of
biodiversity conservation and landscape protection (in terms of alternative land and resource uses foregone).
With a high incidence of poverty and limited livelihood options in most buffer-zone areas, people tend to be both
unwilling and unable to bear these costs. Similarly, while PA authorities are responsible for finding and allocating
the funds required to manage PAs, they rely on extremely limited budgets and are able to generate and retain
very few sources of revenue and income.
At the same time, many of the groups that benefit the most from PA ecosystem services make little or no
contribution towards the costs of providing them – even when they can well-afford to do so, and are generating
substantial profits (or saving considerable costs) that are directly tied to the provision of ecosystem services.
Examples include crop farmers, the tourism sector, as well as the various settlements, industries and productive
sectors that are located downstream of the PAs. The provision of these benefits to the wider economy is
effectively being subsidised by two groups that have the least financial and economic ability to do so: PA
authorities and PA-adjacent communities.
Although it is beyond the scope of the current report either to investigate the costs of effective PA management
or to identify the kind of mechanisms that could be used be used enhance PA investment, the valuation study
suggests a number of needs, niches and opportunities for better capturing ecosystem service values and
compensating conservation costs that could be incorporated into E-PASS outputs 2.2 and 2.3. These basically
revolve around redistributing or
transferring payments from the groups and sectors that benefit for free or at low
cost from PA crop pollination, watershed protection and recreational services as financing flows for the PA authorities
that incur direct management expenditures and incentives for the PA-adjacent community members that bear the
opportunity costs of conservation

On-farm pollination experiments were conducted in 30 different small-scale coffee fields to determine monetary value attributable to pollination services in coffee production and to identify the degree of influences of various socio-ecological drivers in Uganda. Ecological-economic approaches were applied to determine the economic value of pollinating services. Economic value of bees increased significantly with increase in coffee farm size, bee diversity, and cover of seminatural habitats. The value of bees declined sharply ( P < 0.05 ) with forest distance and cultivation intensity. Economic values of pollinating services associated with coffee fields established in regions with low intensity were found to be high. Organically managed small-scale coffee fields were 2 times more profitable than commercially managed farms. The annual value of pollinating services delivered by wild bees oscillated between US$67.18 and US$1431.36. Central Uganda produces in total 0.401 million tons of coffee beans for an approximate economic value of US$214 million from which US$149.42 million are attributable to pollination services. Policy makers should strengthen environmental/agricultural extension service systems to better serve farmers. Farmers are recommended to protect/increase the cover of natural and semi-natural habitats in the vicinity of their coffee fields to receive high economic benefits from pollinating services delivered by bees.

Recent conditions in North Sulawesi Province (NSP) have become favorable for the development of tourism. In this paper, we present the recent status of biodiversity and tourism in NSP as a basic consideration towards integrative biodiversity conservation strategy. Overall, biological accounts suggest that NSP is important for the world biodiversity conservation program. NSP's biodiversity makes the area a major nature-based tourism (ecotourism) site in the world. Development of diverse tourism programs in NSP has provided new opportunities for balancing development and conservation of regional ecosystems. However, the excessive tourism growth in some particular areas in NSP has been identified as the primary factor of environmental degradation. Nowadays, biodiversity of North Sulawesi regions are suffering from the number of tourist impacts and facilities. Based on those conditions, tourism planning and development in NSP is needed to formulate a proper strategy to protect the ecosystem and biodiversity from degradation and extinction. This will be a new challenge of sustainable island tourism development and biodiversity conservation in NSP.
Chapter
Introduction In the wake of failures to maintain protected areas based on strict exclusion – the ‘fortress’ approach deriving from the Yellowstone model – considerable efforts have been made to involve peoples living in and around such areas in various co-management schemes to invoke their own sense of interest in protecting the natural resources of such areas. However, park managers have increasingly felt that effective deployment of committed participation in local co-management institutions requires fostering a ‘conservation awareness’, a subjectivity of care for the environment. In his exploration of the imposition of a conservationist subjectivity by the Indian government on some of its citizenry, a process that, following Foucault, he labels ‘environmentality’, Agrawal (2005a, b) emphasizes the role of government regulations in fostering a modern subjectivity of care for the environment through the medium of participatory mechanisms such as forest councils. Others (e.g. Severin 1997) have disputed the efficacy of governmental regulations in effecting such a transformation of sensibility, arguing that traditional orientations to the environment enshrined in custom or the exercise of volunteer participation in non-governmental organization (NGO) projects of conservation result in more profound inculcation of custodial attitudes or conservationist sensibility. What this chapter seeks to explore is the formation of other types of cooperation around a protected area of Sulawesi, the Lore Lindu National Park (Taman Nasional Lore Lindu or TNLL), specifically the politics surrounding the formation of conservation agreements and village-level conservation organizations in the region.

The value of non-market resources is important information for the nature-based park investment and management. In this paper, we estimate visitors' willingness to pay (WTP) an entrance fee for beach resource protection of the Ko Chang Marine Park in Thailand using a standard contingent valuation method of a single-bounded (SB) and double-bounded (DB) dichotomous choice format. An on-site stratified sampling survey of 409 beach visitors was conducted at the park along the White Sand Beach shoreline. By comparing the two survey methods, the average WTP for a Thai beach visitor is about $12.01 under the SB elicitation survey and $7.27 per adult per visit under the DB elicitation method, respectively. It turns out that the foreign visitors' WTP is twice as much as that of Thai visitors' WTP. These can be translated to the lower and upper bounds of an aggregated value ranging between $10.33 million and $17.41 million per annum. The policy implications for the park management are addressed.

Ecotourism can contribute to both conservation and development and involves, as a minimum, positive synergistic relationships between tourism, biodiversity and local people, facilitated by appropriate management. This paper applies a framework for the development and evaluation of ecotourism to three protected areas in North Sulawesi. Due to its spectacular endemic biodiversity, the potential for providing quality nature experiences in North Sulawesi is high and tourism development is occurring rapidly. Site-level evaluations of ecotourism in three protected areas were performed to illustrate the application and the utility of the framework as a tool for evaluation and to assess the status of tourism in North Sulawesi. It is revealed that current relationships between people, resources and tourism in North Sulawesi have yet to provide the mutual benefits necessary for successful ecotourism. The approach and framework used to arrive at these conclusions have wide applicability for assessing the achievements of ecotourism at specific sites and for directing appropriate management strategies for ecotourism in protected areas.
