“…So, making a commitment with forest professionals is much more likely than with the administration and consequently, the demand for economic compensation will be lower. The administration (the "prefecture") is traditionally the contract authority when French forest owners make contracts for Natura2000 areas, and this may be one of the explanations for the modest participation in these schemes by private owners [10,31,34]. Confidence and knowledge of their forest are the underlying determinants of the preferences for institutions according to the owners' own statements.…”

The overall research question addresses the effectiveness of incentive mechanisms in poli -cies that enhance private forest owners’ biodiversity protection. In particular, the paper focuses on the link between forest owners’ motivations, incentives, and institutions, and questions the incentives of the current biodiversity protection policies. Our hypothesis is that the purely monetary nature of the incentives can cause a “crowding out effect”, i.e., forest owners may reduce their voluntary contribution to biodiversity protection that is driven by prosocial motivations (altruism, self-image, etc.). With this in mind, as well as the knowledge acquired via this project about forest owners’ motivations, we looked for the most effective combinations of “incentive mechanisms” (monetary and non-monetary) and “institutions” (national and local authorities, NGOs, etc.) to encourage forest owners to adopt biodiversity protection measures in their forests.

“…When looking for explanations that could clarify this difference, it should be kept in mind that owners also take into account other non-economic factors in forest management [46] that impact their willingness to make an effort to provide ecosystem services [47,48], but which may also determine the WTA value. The average WTA value set in the most conservative model, WTA1 (total ban on logging) would allow restrictions in the other models to be imposed on surface areas almost twice as large (1.87, 2.07, and 2.05 ha in models WTA2, 3, and 4, respectively).…”

“…In the presented research, the value of expected compensation was affected by gender (in models WTA2 and 3), age (WTA1 and 4) and the number of persons in the household (WTA2, 3, and 4). The introduction of programs to limit forestry production may be limited to economic, social, and intrinsic motives, with significant crowding out occurring only between economic and intrinsic motives, i.e., intrinsic motives are likely to reduce the effectiveness of economic incentives (this is not the case for social motives) [46]. In addition, forest owners who stated that they ran a farm (all models), owners with forest surface area greater the Polish average and greater than the agricultural land surface area (WTA2, 3, and 4), and respondents with agricultural land surface area greater than the national average had higher expected WTA values.…”

The provision of forest ecosystem services (such as biodiversity, water and soil protection, and recreation) is often associated with a reduction in timber harvesting. In the case of private forests, such a situation requires institutional solutions that allow the economic balance of forest management to be maintained. The aim of the study was to find out the average value of monetary compensation private forest owners would expect in case of timber harvesting restrictions. The study was conducted with a random sample of 1003 forest landowners. The average value of expected compensation ranged from PLN 2300/year/ha (which corresponds to the price of about 12 m3 of wood in Poland) under the condition of no restrictions on timber harvesting but the need to apply indicated of forest management methods, to PLN 4900/year/ha in the model assuming a total ban on harvesting. In general, higher compensation was expected by farmers who stated that they sold timber and those whose agricultural area was larger than the average in Poland. When harvesting restrictions are low, the expected compensation is influenced by the age and gender of the respondent, or the number of people in the household.
