The natural environment provides society with many services which are crucial for our survival such as biodiversity conservation, water provision and purification, climate stabilization, disease control and storm protection. <\/strong><\/p>

While environmental protection is vital, a fundamental problem facing conservation is finance \u2013 especially for the vast amount of the planet\u2019s biodiversity that lies outside of protected areas.<\/p>

New market-based mechanisms that encourage biodiversity and resource conservation are a promising set of tools to help take conservation and sustainable natural resource management to global scale and significance while simultaneously benefitting the guardians of those services \u2013 the often marginalized forest communities.<\/p>

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are a way to incentivize land users to properly manage and conserve their natural environment \u2013 thus ensuring the flow of ecosystem services (Pagiola and Platiais, 2002). These schemes compensate those who provide ecosystem services through direct payments, selling credits for carbon, biodiversity or water on international or national markets, or through other similar mechanisms as will be described throughout this book.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n Historically, Environmental Funds (EFs) have played a strong role in ensuring long-term biodiversity conservation worldwide through their ability to mobilize significant financial resources. \n\nNow, they have the ability to advance these emerging markets and reward local communities through a variety of mechanisms including purchasing offset credits or providing start-up funding to promising projects. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
