| Sumario: | The value of game for hunting from a social economic viewpoint is an interesting topic
that is currently being investigated in a Swedish research program. The amount of
damages that the game stocks cause to the forestry is, and has been in focus for a longer
period of time. Something that I saw as missing was an investigation of how much an
active game keeping measure might cost in lost incomes for forestry in terms of reduced
acreage for forest production.
This question was the foundation for this investigation, which purpose is to give
interested persons with decent knowledge of forestry an example of how cost estimation
for forestry resembling the example that is studied can look like.
The measures that has been taken is a felling of forest in different ages on both sides of
a forest dirt road to create increased asset of forage for the game, and at the same time
give hunters that have their post along the dirt road a better chance of seeing passing
animals early and increasing the possibility to shoot good shots. The area, which is a
part of The Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management estate Öster
Malma, is also used as an example for guests who wish to learn more about managing
ungulates. These guests have now got the opportunity to get information on how big the
costs are for the measures that have been taken.
The main conclusions of this work is that changed timber prices and foremost a change
of interest rate makes big differences on the result of the calculations. A high rate of
interest leads to a decrease of the lost income and makes it easier to motivate the
conversion of the acreage to game management purposes. |
