Markets for Nonuse within a Collectivist Society

We often see markets established for nonuse within both priviate and public land. For example, a market may be established for saving the rainforests in which individuals donate money in order to ban usage of the rainforest or we ma see individuals donating money to build up private parks in order to preserve natural habitats.

I’m trying to think if and how a market, I use that word losely in this context, of nonuse could be established under a collectiveist system of collective ownership.

“Collective Ownership”, taken literally, is absolutely meaningless. It’s a contradiction of terms, a division by zero. Trying to reason about collective ownership in its “true” form will do nothing but drive you insane.

However when the term is used it usually refers to state ownership, in which case the answer is simple: The state simply delegates some areas to be nature preserves or historical sites or whatever, much like what is done now.
