Willingness to pay for blue-green space and koala habitat protection following a Covid-19 versus bushfire experimental prime by Zoe Leviston, Rubijayne Cohen, Stephanie Gorman, Zoe Becvarik, Aparna Lal

“…Both WTP for blue-green space and koala habitat was significantly associated with experience with bushfire, left-leaning political orientation, and higher blue-green space usage. Assessment of WTP for blue-green space in Australian cities indicates a positive attitude, especially among active users, although people are still willing to contribute to koala protection.…”
