Beschreibung:
We evaluate the efficiency of information campaigns raising environmental awareness. The study designed an intensive, long term, campaign lasting two years. With stated preference surveys, we evaluated the influence of the campaign on citizen preferences for ecosystem services and environmental goods. The focus lies in the temporal effects on direct, indirect use and intrinsic values. Our findings indicate that information does change preferences although a decay effect exists. As awareness is subject to seasonal experience with ecosystems and to a time decay effect, it emerges that, although information is a necessary instrument of policy, it cannot be a sufficient one
