  1. Building, Bundling and negotiating ecosystem services for small-scale farmers in rural landscapes Grace B. Villamor (ZEF, University of Bonn & ICRAF) and David Huberman (IUCN)

  2. Payments/Rewards for Ecosystem Services Wunder’s definition: • Voluntary transaction • Well-defined ES • Bought by ES buyer • Conditionality Conditionality – the business-like principle only to pay if the service is actually delivered (Wunder, 2005) Photos: B. Belcher, C. Cossalter, & S. Wunder

  3. Quality control for P/RES (Source: van Noordwijk, et al 2007)

  4. P/RES Scheme • Popular PES scheme: Clean Development Mechanism (receiving most attention and investments) • Weak in achieving the high hopes of the farmers • ITTO and RUPES projects experience: (Published: ITTO's Tropical Forests Update Online Newsletter, Issue 18 No. 3 2008) www.worldagroforestrycentre.org/Sea/Networks/RUPES/ Don’t lose sight of the broader picture…. “bundle”…

  5. Integrating PES through ‘bundling’ • Forest Carbon Markets and REDD • RISEMP • Landscape Labeling • IPES

  6. Integrating PES through ‘bundling’ • Ex. Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) tool: • - Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation • Agricultural Land Management • Improved Forest Management • Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation REDD and forest carbon standards

  7. Integrating PES through ‘bundling’ • Regional Integrated Silvopastoral Management Projects (RISEMP) Source: Pagiola, et al 2004

  8. Integrating PES through ‘bundling’ • Landscape Labels (Ghazoul et al., 2009) - New approach that seeks to overcome problems on PES - Combining PES and product certification principles applied at a landscape scale benefits realized at the community level - Award managed rural landscape delivering valuable ecosystem services – “landscape label” • Towards integrated PES systems • Watersheds as fundamental building blocks • Source: Brauman et al., 2007

  9. Integrating PES through ‘bundling’ • IPES

  10. Case Studies/Projects and Interventions

  11. Case Studies/Projects and Interventions Cattle ranching Cocoa- agroforest

  12. Case Studies/Projects and Interventions

  13. Some important considerations: • P/RES is not desirable everywhere. • Keep payment options broad (not just cash!) • There are likely to be tradeoffs • Sensitive to context specific realities (tools are available) • Carbon finance should be considered as a means to an end – not an end in itself • Outreach and awareness raising are integral to the establishment of P/RES systems
