Abstract: An economic valuation of some of the ecosystem services provided at the Taravo river basin was conducted, using a stated preferences approach. On average, respondents were willing to pay up to 128 Euros per year for the enhancement of the ecosystem services selected for this choice experiment. This result is in line with those obtained in other studies applying the same approach. This Choice Experiment is part of more comprehensive assessment, which will be published later, and expands the analysis to other ecosystem services and takes into account their biophysical aspect as well.
