What is The role of livelihood assets in livelihood strategy choice from the perspective of macrofungal conservation in nature reserves on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau about?
Livelihoods around nature reserve (NRs), which are highly dependent on the harvest of endangered macrofungi (Cordyceps sinensis, Tricholoma matsutake), challenge biodiversity conservation on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Previous studies have attempted to capture the impact of rural livelihood assets through the conceptual framework of a sustainable livelihood and a multinomial logit model to find a possible solution. Although communities around NRs face more severe green traps, they are also regions with limited scientific evidence on this topic. We selected 7 NRs on the southeastern edge of the QTP as the study area, where NRs are densely distributed. Data were collected through a household survey and unstructured interviews with administrators, and we quantitatively analyzed the relationship between livelihood assets and livelihood strategies. K-mean cluster analysis related to income sources was used to identify three distinctive livelihood strategies: livestock, nonfarm, and gathering/livestock strategies. The results indicate that human, natural, and financial assets had significant influences on livelihood strategies and that the choice of livelihood strategy varied by
