Role of local communities’ awareness on the economic value of Atriplex canescence in terms of carbon sequestration on the maintain and even improvement of their rangelands is the scope of this study. In the first stage of the study the economic value of rangeland was measured. Carbon capture method was used to calculate the carbon uptake. Burning methods in the electric furnace was used for direct value of carbon sequestration while carbon tax policy method and the carbon emission cost for its’ shadow value. Pre and post knowledge transfer on participatory range management in sake of rangelands maintenance and improvement was assessed. Conditional valuation method and two-dimensional double-choice questionnaire were used for the study. As results showed training have had a significant effect on the willingness of local people to pay for conservation of pasture. In terms of monetary value, the average willingness to pay for pre-training condition was 45680/02 rials per month for the post training however, it was 89,600 rials.
