Pago por Servicios Ambientales

Pago por Servicios Ambientales (Payment for Environmental Services, or PES) is a financial mechanism where landowners or communities receive compensation for managing their natural resources in ways that benefit the environment. This can include activities like reforestation, conservation of water sources, or protecting biodiversity. The idea is to recognize and reward the valuable ecological services provided by nature, such as clean air, clean water, and carbon sequestration. By financially supporting these efforts, PES aims to encourage sustainable land use and promote environmental conservation while providing economic benefits to those who steward the land.
