| Abstract |
The landscape is used by many entities at the same time, leading to problems with property rights, environmental protection, biodiversity conservation and other interests. Both property rights and environmental protection are guaranteed by the state and regulated by law. It is completely undeniable and natural that there are conflicts between these interests. In recent decades, efforts to conserve the biodiversity have been characterized by increasing use of economic instruments, new sources of funding to support activities including monitoring, research, training, but also public events and promotion. Conflicts are relatively common when a property overlaps with the territory and home range of a predator. As users usually bear the costs, this leads to negative attitudes towards these species, even though some of them are protected by law. These conflicts can also lead to negative attitude towards conservation itself and its financial and political support. This paper quantifies the relationship between compensation for damage caused by selected protected animals and their abundance in the Czech Republic. A high statistical dependence between population development and compensation payments is found for wolves (r = 0.999) and otters (r = 0.921). |
