摘要:Globally, economic approach to environmental management has been
receiving recognition in all sectors of the economy. Forests provide
ecosystem services such as pleasant landscapes, carbon sequestration,
biodiversity conservation, watershed protection and so on. Forest
ecosystems provide a wide variety of environmental services such as
water regulation, biodiversity conservation, carbon storage for climate
change mitigation & so on. Therefore, paramount importance is being
given to forest management issues these days. Environmental goods and
services not only benefit the local communities, it will also provide benefits
to the global communities. However, not all environmental uses generate
financial, returns commensurate with their real economic value.
Environmental services are not traded in the market and have no
observable price, which may be the reason. Implementing Payment for
Environmental Service (PES) mechanisms can be a way for natural
resource conservation, and achieve development goals
and, especially in low-income regions.
