Protecting threatened biodiversity hotspots in densely populated areas requires the creation of landscape-scale contiguous reserves and corridors to support viable species populations and ecological processes (eg, Cincotta, Wisnewski, and Engelman 2000; Margules and Pressey 2000). Creating contiguous protected areas cannot be accomplished, however, without the voluntary cooperation of private landholders. Their cooperation is more likely if they are compensated for financial losses, eg, US Conservation Reserve Program (Innes, Polasky, and Tschirhart 1998; Farraro and Kiss 2002). We explore how a smart subsidy can be used to create contiguous habitat voluntarily. The smart subsidy creates an explicit network externality between neighboring landowners by paying an additional agglomeration bonus when they retire land adjacent to other conserved parcels, both their own and their neighbors (Parkhurst et al. 2002; Parkhurst and Shogren 2007; Warziniack, Shogren, and Parkhurst 2007; Drechsler et al. 2007).
