Hi,
I am participating in a scientific study. Our general aim is to collect financial information about the amount of the funds that natural protected areas are using (and a breakdown of the spending of those funds), and what is the estimated budget needed for the PA system to achieve its objectives (the ideal budget). At the country level, or broken down in individual protected areas.
Apart from that, we have more specific questions, like how much would it cost to create new protected area, and how much is the positive economic value of the protected area, taking into account ecosystem services and visitor-based income.

If you were so kind as to help me, I would be very grateful. Many thanks and best regards
I think you will have to contact some protected Areas in Macedonia and inquire about the amount spent on establishing their PA, the amount derived from the animals through game viewing and other ecosystem services provided by those PAs, then use it to project for your new established PAs.
Hard to find the data on the Internet.
Ecosystem service approach is still not used properly, but hopefully some rough estimates exist. Perhaps Robertina Brajanoska can help.
Visitors don't pay for entrance yet, so that income is 0.
