An ecosystem services oriented benefits sharing mechanism (BSM) in the Andes: The Canete watershed case study

Abstract:

The Canete watershed in Peru presents two conditions that make it a good candidate site for implementing a broad BSM, beyond the “pure” PES model. The first condition is based on the potential to demonstrate additionality (ie that ES delivery improves based on modified practices) in some grazing areas upstream. This condition positions the basin as a strong candidate for a “pure” PES scheme. That is, ES beneficiaries would be able to tangibly observe the enhanced ES provision because they would presumably be willing to pay on an ongoing basis. Likewise, ES suppliers receiving these payments would be likely to remain compliant in modifying their practices.
