This analysis estimates households' willingness to pay for medicinal plant conservation in Southwestern Ethiopia, highlighting biodiversity and community roles.

Key Points

Eighty-nine percent of surveyed households expressed a willingness to pay for medicinal plant conservation, emphasizing local commitment to sustainability.
The average willingness to pay per household was calculated at 3.80 USD annually, contributing to a total of approximately 28,890 USD for the study area.
Utilizing the contingent valuation method, a multi-stage sampling approach was applied, involving 366 households across several districts.
Findings indicate that education level, household income, and proximity to forests significantly influence willingness to pay for conservation efforts.
