Modelling Payments for Environmental Services on Indigenous held lands

支付环境服务(PES)费用，如火灾管理，有可能为管理以前被认为没有商业价值的土地的土著人民提供就业机会。通过这样做，它可以改变澳大利亚土著居民居住的非常偏远地区的经济。然而，要使这些计划奏效，不仅需要更多地了解社会是否愿意为澳大利亚北部的环境服务付费，还需要更多地了解提供这些服务的土著人民的看法。选择模型可以(1)量化社会不同部门中不同环境服务的价值，(2)帮助有效地分配环境服务的费用。

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.
