Understanding the drivers of participation in conservation programs is essential for successful efforts to preserve nature in Latin America. By identifying these factors, we can bolster the long-term effectiveness of such initiatives in the region, particularly given that much of the biodiversity resides on private lands. Whereas extensive research has explored landowner participation in developed countries, variations in socio-economic, environmental, and governance contexts pose unique challenges across developed and less-developed nations. Moreover, discrepancies in research criteria suggest the need for a comprehensive conceptual model to identify and summarize these factors. Following a systematic literature review, we examine and summarize the various factors that influence voluntary participation in conservation-related programs across Latin America. We searched for studies using Web of Science from January 2000 to July 2022, resulting in the screening of 31 peer-reviewed articles. We categorized factors into opportunity, willingness, and ability to participate. Within the willingness category, we considered factors related to intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, while the ability category covered factors related to financial, social, human, natural, and physical capital. We extracted factors reported as having either a positive or negative influence on participation. Our analysis revealed a balanced focus on factors related to both willingness and ability, with a noted gap in the evaluation of social capital. Notably, our adapted conceptual framework encompasses institutional capital within the ability category, enhancing the understanding of factors influencing landowner participation in conservation initiatives.

审查影响拉丁美洲自愿参与保护计划的因素


了解参与保护计划的驱动因素对于成功保护拉丁美洲的自然环境至关重要。通过确定这些因素，我们可以加强此类举措在该地区的长期有效性，特别是考虑到大部分生物多样性都位于私有土地上。尽管进行了广泛的研究，探讨了发达国家的土地所有者参与情况，但社会经济、环境和治理背景的变化对发达国家和欠发达国家构成了独特的挑战。此外，研究标准的差异表明需要一个全面的概念模型来识别和总结这些因素。在系统的文献综述之后，我们检查并总结了影响拉丁美洲自愿参与保护相关计划的各种因素。我们使用 Web of Science 检索了 2000 年 1 月至 2022 年 7 月期间的研究，筛选了 31 篇同行评议的文章。我们将因素分为机会、意愿和参与能力。在意愿类别中，我们考虑了与内在和外在动机相关的因素，而能力类别涵盖了与财务、社会、人力、自然和物质资本相关的因素。我们提取了据报道对参与有积极或消极影响的因素。我们的分析显示，对与意愿和能力相关的因素的关注是平衡的，在社会资本的评估方面存在明显的差距。值得注意的是，我们调整后的概念框架包括能力类别中的机构资本，增强了对影响土地所有者参与保护计划的因素的理解。
