  4. Diversity is becoming simplified (van Noordwijk 1997)

  5. Eco-certification: How does it work? (van Noordwijk 1997)

  6. Jungle rubber production has opportunity costs (Budidarsono undated)

  7. Improving on the promises • Shorten the biodiversity value chain with contracts • Contracts should: • Guaranteed price premiums • Base payments on eco system performance • Allow an accounting chain of custody

  8. Separating the biodiversity and material value chains

  9. Separating the biodiversity and material value chains

  10. Pay for achievement in biodiversity conservation • Allows more pay for better habitat, not for more commodity • Using science-based and local knowledge can create acceptance and improvement feedback loop • Offers incentive for site specific research (Tata et al 2006).

  11. Reducing transaction costs: accounting chain of custody

  12. Thank you

  13. Tipping the scales for more eco-services Net Income: Total revenue – total cost
