Document Summary
Direct payments for ecosystem services and redd (ferraro & kiss) getting what you pay for: direct conservation. Most direct: performance-based payment for conservation biology. Achieve a given level at the least cost . Sarus crane: egg and chick protection threatened: clearing of natural habitat locals would collect and sell eggs local people paid based on how well they protect the nest: +-100/crane small group of people engaged in program. Many are former hunters/egg collectors data demonstrates higher rate of survival in protected (paid) nests for sarus crane. G. adjutant lower survival rate; conservationists willing to pay more. No private citizens wanted to agree to contract because of social stigma surrounding wolves. 70s & 80s, among highest rates of deforestation on planet nearly all areas outside of parks were cleared. Costa rica uses differentiated payments based n costs of activity to land owner and conservation priority likely benefit larger landholders created design to benefit small landholders based on agroforestry.
