We investigate the use of payments for environmental services to support a wildlife corridor between two Priority Tiger Conservation Landscapes in central Sumatra, Indonesia. Several hundred smallholders operate within a Protection Forest linking the Tiger Conservation Landscapes. We explore the willingness of these smallholders to accept a payment requiring them to forgo access to their land for five years. We show how inferred valuation techniques can mitigate against respondents overstating how much they are willing to accept.
