The rapid loss of global wetlands presents a challenge for global biodiversity conservation. Designating protected areas, including wetland nature reserves, has been a widely used approach to reducing species loss and habitat loss. Nevertheless, Conservation in wetland nature reserves is facing threats from agricultural and urban expansion, climate change, conflicts with local communities, and lack of funding. A good understanding on the public’s willingness to pay (WTP) for the environment or management alternatives is essential for economic justification of investing in conservation .However, little attention has been paid to the extent to which public’s attitudes toward conservation may affect WTP for protected endangered species. The data presented in this article are the outcome of a survey implemented in Beijing, 2014.This data consists of demographic, attitudinal and perception questions, and can be used to analyse how the respondents’ noneconomic motives such as conservation attitudes and economic motives such as family income affect their marginal WTP for conservation.
