We conducted surveys in Denmark, Spain, and Ghana to solicit individual preferences for national and international ecological compensation for forest cover lost in the participant's home country due to the construction of a road. In the same survey, we also solicited individual socio-demographic characteristics and preferences, such as their gender, their risk preferences, whether they think individuals in Denmark, Spain, or Ghana can be trusted, etc. The data is useful for understanding individual preferences for national and international ecological compensation under a net outcomes type biodiversity policy (e.g., “no net loss”). It can also be used to understand how individual preferences and socio-demographic characteristics can be used to understand an individual's choice for ecological compensation.
