Given this goal, we analyzed social support for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service delivery in semi-arid environments in Spain, based on the willingness to give up time. We took into consideration different types of conservation activities and different ecosystem service categories. In addition, we explored the effect of the respondent's place of residence and gender. Overall, the satisfaction of conserving species continues to be the prominent driving force in engaging public support for conservation programs over ecosystem services. However, we found significant differences by place of residence and gender, with implications for the promotion of social engagement. Urban respondents were particularly interested in allocating time to activities associated with protected-area programs, while rural inhabitants were willing to engage in activities related to cultural services. With respect to gender, women were highly motivated to support activities that enhance rural areas. The results show that the willingness to give up time reflects socio-cultural factors behind consumer preferences. In addition, its application could promote collaborative work and strengthen community values and beliefs. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.835 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 114 / 229 = 0.498 2016 Q2 T2 ECOLOGY 80 / 153 = 0.523 2016 Q3 T2 0.827 2016 Earth-Surface Processes 2016 Q2 Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics 2016 Q2 Ecology 2016 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Castro, Antonio J.
