ossieram Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wouldn't be long before gamekeepers and farmers started leaving poisoned meat down for them or shooting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Excellent if it goes ahead, should be used to keep the wild boar population down that has resulted in farmers not using best practice and allowing breeding boars to escape in to the wild.

EastKentRam Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Quite cool really.As a nature enthusiast, always enjoy seeing them at my local zoo (slightly hypicritical I know, but it's actually a conservation centre, so not as bad).Doubt, for a good while at least, people will get away with shooting them as it will be so widely publicised.

Malagaram Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 We have a population of Iberian Lynx here in Southern Spain,about 200 at last estimates with 25 breeding females,but they are a very endangerred species,with loss of habitat,food,trapping and shooting by hunters all though it is a protected species,and road kill all making its survival precairious,although the Spanish Goverment have started a scheme to reintroduce a third colony,there are two areas at the moment.A beautiful animal,one that not many people have been lucky enough to see.

TigerTedd Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Nothing, especially over the BBQ. Its Farmers who bread them and they escape and the impact they have in particular environments. Stick them in woods and they do wonders, if they escape to moorland they will kill sheep, distroy crops etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Used to have a breeding population of wallabies in Derbyshire, but a succession of hard winters knocked them on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No part of it apart from the intro, felt like a genuine wildlife survey, I guess as an economics student that may be the point, but to get people to connect and therefore open their wallets, there needs to be a much more waffle, and emotion, to get me to part with my easily earned!

RLACML Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sorry guys, one slight problem, the question should have been clearer. For the final question, you have to give an answer for each level of contribution. It's to try and get a lower and upper bound for the WTP. I'm not sure what I can do about those who have already answered but thanks for completing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It's all about trying to value something that doesn't really have a market. Your Willingness to payWillingness to pay depends on how you phrase the questions though, and the introduction.One way the WWF do this is through humanisation of the questions i.e. they'd give the lynxs a name, and a back story to connect you personally to enabling their re-introduction. Without that, it's very dry and doesn't connect with the donors on a personal level at all.This may be off topic, and not what you're looking for feedback wise, but I can't imagine you'd secure much funding with the intro and questionaire as they stand.
