    Abstract
    In grassland areas subject to degradation caused by overgrazing such as the Maqu grasslands, excess livestock could be removed in order to balance available forage and animal numbers. As the number of animals owned by a herder family represents wealth, income, lifestyle, and culture, reducing livestock numbers is problematic and some form of compensation is required to encourage change. Willingness to accept compensation (WTA) was assessed with the use of contingent valuation (CV) methodology to estimate the value that herder families place on the livestock numbers that lead to overgrazing. The minimum acceptable compensation was estimated as 3 717 RMB (~555) per head of cattle and 503 RMB (~75) per head of sheep at 2005 prices. The total compensation required for herder families in Maqu was estimated to be between 2.5 X108 RMB and 3.7 X108 RMB at 2005 prices to reduce stocking to levels considered sustainable based on an estimate of 5 X105 sheep overgrazing equivalents in 2006./Las aéreas de pastizal están sujetas a degradación por el pastoreo como en los pastizales de Maqu, el exceso de ganado podríaser removido con el fin de balancear la disponibilidad de forraje y el número de animales. Cómo el número de animales en posesión de una familia representa riqueza, ingreso, estilo de vida y cultura, la reducción del número de animales es un problema y una forma de compensación se requiere para llevar a cabo es cambio. La Disposición a Aceptar una Compensación (DAC) fue evaluada usando la metodología de Valuación Contingente (VC) para estimar el valor que el hato familiar tiene en el número de animales que provocan el sobrepastoreo. La compensación mínima aceptada fue estimada en 3 717 RMB (~555) por cabezade bovino y de 503 RMB (~75) por cabeza de oveja a precios de 2005. La compensacion total requerida por hato familiar en Maqu fue estimada entre 2.5 X 108 RMB y 3.7 X 108 RMB a precios de 2005 para reducir la carga animal a niveles considerados sostenibles basados en una estimación de 5 X 105 sobrepastoreo de ovejas equivalente en 2006.
