Managing the commons:
payment for environmental services
Descripción
This volume on Payment for Environmental Services provides an overview of diverse experiences in developing payment schemes for those producing environmental services by the way they affect land use practices. Drawing on experiences across Latin America supported by German international financial assistance, Hartmann and Petersen provide evidence related to the success of several payment schemes. They also warn that adding too many social objectives to such programs might endanger the success of achieving improved environmental services. Swallow,Meinzen-Dick, and van Noordwijk, on the other hand, analyze diverse types of payment schemes. Some programs focus entirely on payment to established landowners who adopt environmentally friendly practices.
