18 Forest Ecosystem Services The demand for ecosystem services has increased in recent years. World population Global economy 18
19 What are forest ecosystem services worth? It is essential to assign an economic value to ecosystem services. A specific market is pixabay.com necessary. 19
20 Do you think we should pay for forest ecosystem services? 20
21 Payment for ecosystem services (PES) New York case 1989: new water treatment regulation High cost of to implement treatment system (US$6 billion) $ 1.5 billion investment: protection plan that guarantees water quality Catskills and Delaware watershed supply 90% of all water used in New York 21
22 Payment for ecosystem services (PES) Mexico case Federal government pays landowners who preserve their forests and watershed areas. It uses carbon credits to finance agroforestry projects and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The French company Vittel pays landowners to reduce the use of fertilizers and contain water contamination near their water sources. 22
23 Payment for ecosystem services (PES) Costa Rica case Main objectives Reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) Watersheds conservation Biodiversity Scenic beauty/ Aesthetics 23
24 Payment for ecosystem services (PES) Costa Rica case Forest conservation: U$64/ha/ano up yto 5 years(2 300 ha) Reforestation: U$196/ha/ano up to 15 anos (1 300 ha) Agroforestry: U$0,43/árvore/ano up to 5 anos ( trees) Watersheds conservation: U$67/ha/ano Necessity of a sustainable forest management plan Resources for payments provide from oil taxes (3,5%) 24
25 Payment for ecosystem services (PES) Brazil case Oil and gas royalties are often used to finance protected areas. Bolsa Floresta Program, in the Brazilian Amazon state of Amazonas, includes payments to individual families, in addition to programs of community organization, social benefits, and alternative income projects. Main objective is to recognize, value and encourage landowners to keep healthy forests. Annual amount paid is proportional to the amount of area not deforested. Value payed is U$ 16/month. 25
