Having experienced rapid degradation and deforestation, Cambodia’s highly stocked evergreen forest is the first priority forest to be conserved if carbon payments are available. Using inventory data and timber royalties in Cambodia, we analyze the costs for and revenues from timber harvesting against that from other five land use alternatives, namely forest-to-Teak, forest-to-Acacia, forest-to-Rubber, forest-to-Oil palm, and forest conservation. Annual Equivalents Values (AEVs) for timber harvesting are $8.23–81.87 ha-1. AEVs for other alternatives are $0.92–16.16 for forest-to-Teak, $0.92–16.65 for forest-to-Rubber, and $46.38–461.35 ha-1 yr-1 for forest conservation. Forest-to-Acacia and oil palm are not profitable in Cambodia due to low productivity and high production costs. Discount rates strongly affect the revenues from all land use options. We estimate the costs for forest conservation at $0.27–2.68 MgC-1 depending on discount rates. These carbon prices are well within the range of previous studies. A well-developed conservation plan identifying the roles and responsibility of stakeholders at all levels is required to ensure the success of the REDD projects as well as the sustainable development of the local communities., Other, Shinshu University International Symposium 2010 : Sustainable Agriculture and Environment : Asian Networks II  信州大学国際シンポジウム2010 : 持続的農業と環境 : アジアネットワークII ― アジアネットワークの発展をめざして―. 信州大学農学部, 2010, 31-44}, pages = {31--44}, publisher = {信州大学国際シンポジウム2010実行委員会}, title = {Carbon-based Payments for Tropical Forest Conservation – A Case Study for Evergreen Forest in Cambodia}, year = {2010} }
