Modelling Payments for Environmental Services on Indigenous held lands

支付诸如火灾管理等环境服务的费用有可能为管理土地的土著人民提供就业机会，而这些土地以前被认为没有商业价值。这样一来，它可能会改变澳大利亚土著居民居住的偏远地区的经济。然而，要使这些计划发挥作用，不仅需要更深入地了解社会为澳大利亚北部的环境服务付费的意愿，而且还需要了解提供这些服务的土著人民的看法。选择模型可以(1)量化不同社会部门的不同环境服务的价值；(2)有助于有效地分配环境服务的支付。

Payments for environmental services (PES) such as fire management have potential to provide employment to indigenous people managing land that has previously been thought to hold no commercial value. In so doing it could transform the economies of the very remote parts of Australia where indigenous people live. For these schemes to work, however, greater understanding is required not only of the willingness of society to pay for environmental services in northern Australia but also of the perceptions of the indigenous people who are providing these services. Choice modelling can (1) quantify values of different environmental services in different sectors of society and (2) help allocate the payments for environmental services efficiently.
