Descripción
The Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) Program has been operated nationwide by the Mexican Government since 2003. It has preserved more than 3.2 million hectares of forests and directly compensated more than five thousand landowners who voluntarily decided to implement good land management activities. Over ten years, the program has evolved to better suit the national conditions. Since 2008 the real users of the ecosystem services, including local governments, water utilities and private com panies, have become involved in the payments.
