This dissertation examines the conservation and economic development effects of community forest management in the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR). Maintaining the world's forest resources in developing countries has been a difficult, but necessary task since conserving tropical forests is crucial for preserving biodiversity and sequestering carbon. However, many communities located near the forest depend on extracting forest resources as a source of income and many governments in developing countries cannot devote enough resources to enforce forest protection efforts. This creates an overexploitation problem since many of these forests are common-pool resources that are rivalrous and non-excludable because of the lack of enforcement of the ill-defined property rights. To remedy this issue, some countries have provided communal property rights to encourage sustainable resource use (Ostrom 1990; Schlager and Ostrom, 1992). The idea is that households will work together and monitor each other to protect the area of land to which they have property rights from over exploitation. In exchange, the group that manages the area is given exclusive access to the forest resources and is able to earn a sustainable source of income. However, for community-based forest management to have a higher likelihood of being effective, households that are participating in the forest management system can receive an incentive in addition to the forest being conserved. The goal of this dissertation is to assess whether the economic development and conservation benefits of the community forest concessions in the Maya Biosphere Reserve are effective and whether receiving payments for strict conservation would be preferred by households. Chapter 1 is an introduction into community forestry and the background of the Maya Biosphere Reserve. In Chapter 2, I examine the impact of concession membership on annual household income to determine if the benefits of participating in community forest management vary by community. Chapter 3 assesses the private and social benefits of the forest concessions in the Maya Biosphere reserve and examines whether the combined conservation and development benefits of implementing the concessions outweigh the costs. In Chapter 4, I use results from a discrete choice experiment I conducted in Maya Biosphere Reserve communities to determine whether households would be willing to receive payments for conserving the forest and sequestering carbon at the expense of sustainable timber harvesting.
