“…This is attributed to the fact that most of the analyzed PES schemes implemented at the local scale included carbon as the type of ES being traded and most were not successful due to the cash transaction type most of the schemes used. This outcome contrasts with what other authors argue [54], namely, that most studies implemented at regional and local levels are more successful on a spatial scale. According to the respondents (Figure 4), long-term-(4.1 out of 5) and mid-term out of 5)-funded PES schemes were the most successful kind.…”

The concept of payments for ecosystem services (PES) has been identified as a promising mechanism for use in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, with several potential advantages and benefits, including the ability to raise new funding for landscape management, increase the efficiency of conservation approaches, secure ecosystem services (ES), and benefit poor rural communities. Starting from understanding the complex relationship between human dependence on natural resources and the environment, this paper aims to determine the degree to which the various criteria affect the success of PES that involve forests. Primary data were collected using a mixed questionnaire that was sent to institutions that had implemented PES schemes in the region and 25 case studies of PES implemented in the region from various publications were used for the secondary data. The data were mainly analyzed using comparative analysis. The results indicated that PES success is higher when bundled ES are considered, financing is medium- to long-term, implementation is at the regional level, combined transaction types (cash and in-kind) are used, and both private buyers and public sellers are involved. This paper provides a good benchmark for decision makers on PES performance and the model presented may serve as one of the tools for improving livelihoods and ensuring the achievement of sustainable development goals.

“…A project can be classified as a PES if it meets the following criteria: (i) must originate in a voluntary deal; (ii) must have one well-defined environmental service, or a kind of land use that supports this kind of service; (iii) must have at least one environmental service "purchased" by one service consumer; (iv) must have at least one service provider, and; (v) must ensure that the provided service is guaranteed by a firm condition (WUNDER, 2005;ROBERTSON et WUNDER, 2005).…”

Payment for Environmental Services (PES) can be defined as a monetary/non-monetary compensation mechanism (provider-receiver principle) by the supply of environmental services. This work identified and analysed Brazilian and Argentine PES’s case studies under a national perspective but also under an eventual and future River Plate watershed. Brazilian projects can be considered unique due their special conditions and the environmental goals of the various Federative Entities, mainly the case of Sao Paulo state. In Argentina, by contrast, and despite improvements in PES projects through county and federal government initiatives. Finally, it was suggested some aspects that could be utilized, such as “parameters”, to promote social, economic, and environmental standardization in conjunction with regional PES projects that require international cooperation.
