- W1504645549 abstract "In several developing countries, forest preservation programs have been put in place with an economic justification based on the local ecological services that they provide (Pagiola et al., 2002). It is argued that the presence of forests preserve the hydrological balance; reduce soil erosion due to increased soil stability; reduce flooding and regulate flows (Perrot-Maitre and Davis, 2001; Johnson et al., 2002; Pattanayak and Kramer, 2001a,b). However, other authors dispute the domestic benefits of forests and state that natural scientists often overvalue forests (Chomitz and Kumari, 1998; Aylward and Echeverria, 2001; Calder, 1999). Assuming that an externality costs of deforestation exists, policy makers have started to look at how to correct for this and how a workable system can be put in place to pay for ecological services locally. Increasing attention is going towards the direct payment for environmental services (Ferraro and Simpson, 2002; Durbin, 2002; Pagiola et al., 2002). We look at this issue in a case study in Madagascar. Multiple studies have shown the high and accelerating deforestation rate in Madagascar (McConnell, 2002). Causes of deforestation are multiple and have been linked to poverty (Zeller et al., 2000), conversion of forest land to pastures (McConnel, 2002), use of wood for charcoal (Casse et al., 2004), wood exports or household fuel consumption (Minten and Moser, 2003), slash-and burn agriculture (Barrett, 1999; Keck et al., 1994; FOFIFA, 2001; Casse et al., 2004; Terretany, 1997), rural insecurity (Minten and Moser, 2003), and land tenure problems (Freudenberger, 1999). While deforestation threatens the unique eco-system of Madagascar, it has also been linked to higher incidences of flooding and greater soil erosion and damages therefore the agricultural resource base domestically (Freudenberger, 1999, Kramer et al., 1997). Overall, it is estimated that the damage of soil erosion in Madagascar is high (Kramer et al., 1997; World Bank, 2005) although the numbers that have been suggested might have been exaggerated (see f.ex., Larson, 1994). In this analysis, we study the potential domestic benefits of forests on lowland agriculture. While we do not try to establish explicit linkages between deforestation and sedimentation off-site, we do look at the effects of flooding and sedimentation downstream as perceived by rice farmers. The analysis is based on a small-scale survey in Northern Madagascar where we try to monetize the cost to farmers of flooding and sedimentation on their rice fields" @default.
