Abstract

Payments for Environmental Services PES can encourage projects that enhance restoration production and rural development When projects promote differentiated systems by paying farmers for the provision of services the application of PES requires evaluation of the environmental services provided by each system We present evaluations of carbon stocks and biodiversity in pure and mixed native tree plantations in Costa Rica To illustrate how monetary values can be assigned we discuss a project that awarded PES to silvopastoral systems in Costa Rica Nicaragua and Colombia based on carbon stocks and biodiversity PES can promote positive environmental attitudes in farmers Currently this project is being scaled up in Colombia based on their positive experiences with PES as a tool to promote adoption Compared to PES systems that include only one environmental service systems that incorporate bundling or layering of multiple services can make sustainable land uses more attractive to farmers and reduce perverse incentivesThis project was financed by the Program in Tropical Forestry of the Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies We thank Hester Barres for his generous sharing of data and information on Reforest the Tropics Daniel Piotto and Alicia Calle for providing useful pictures and information and colleagues at CATIE Costa Rica for providing useful documentation
