August 17, 2015 at 11:25AM In Mexico, are payments for conserving biodiversity effective?

In Mexico, a programme of payments for environmental services (PES) invites forest communities to commit to protecting a wooded area rich in biodiversity in exchange for an annual payment. But how can the efficacy of the programme be measured without determining the area of forest that would have been lost without it? Researchers from CIRAD and their partners recently developed a method for measuring that area, which enabled them to quantify the impact of the programme: 10 to 15% of wooded areas have been preserved thanks to the payments.

Mais comment évaluer l’efficacité de ce programme sans déterminer quelle surface de forêt aurait été perdue sans lui ? Les chercheurs du Cirad et leurs partenaires viennent de mettre au point une méthode pour mesurer cette surface. Une méthode qui leur a permis de quantifier l’impact du programme : 10 à 15 % des surfaces boisées ont été préservées grâce aux paiements mis en place.
