Abstract

APAZA TICONA, Alfredo  and  ARANA OLIVOS, Edgar Alexs. Design of an economic instrument for the management of wildlife: the case of the Value to the Natural State of the resources of wildlife. Investig. Agrar. [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.46-52. ISSN 2305-0683.  https://doi.org/10.18004/investig.agrar.2022.junio.2401699.

According to the regulations of the forestry and wildlife sector, in order to take advantage of wildlife resources, an economic compensation must be paid in favor of the State. In this context, the National Forestry and Wildlife Service of Peru developed a methodology to estimate the payment for the right to use wildlife. In this way, a model was prepared to determine the Value of the Natural State of the resources of the wild fauna - VEN, with which the "approximate economic value" of the wild fauna in its habitat is estimated and that serves as a basis for the calculation payment for the right of use. The methodology is based on bioeconomic concepts that allowed defining the economic and biological variables included in the model. The development of the model allows having an economic instrument for the management of wildlife resources in the country.

It is important to note that the developed model does not include all the ecosystem values or services linked to wildlife. On the other hand, the development of the model shows the need to carry out new investigations that allow to demonstrate in its real magnitude the importance of wildlife in the ecosystem and allow the development of adequate management policies based on economic theory.

Keywords : bioeconomic models; Value to the Natural State; right of use.
