The success of biodiversity conservation largely depends on the motivation of landowners to take care of the conservation and enhancement of nature assets on their land. Opinion polls of forest and grassland owners were conducted from July to December 2021 to identify and understand their needs and available resources.
The surveys focused on various aspects of compensation mechanisms, such as adequacy of the current compensation system to their needs, motivations of private landowners to take part in biodiversity protection, socio-economic aspects, etc.
