Korup National Park, Cameroon

54

US$/ha

Arising from sustained use of the Korup forest. Existence of watershed functions affording protection to Nigerian and Cameroonian fisheries. NPV assuming that the benefit starts to accrue in 2010 and beyond (2010 represents the time horizon by which the continued use of the forest resources - in the absence of protection - would start to exhaust resources. The imputed benefit stream therefore represents the continued existence of resources).
