About the project


Payments for carbon storage and biodiversity conservation have the potential to generate significant revenue for tropical forest nations. If properly managed, such payments for ecosystem services could play a major role in poverty alleviation and reducing deforestation rates in Amazonia. Funded by the Ecosystem Services and Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme of NERC/ESRC/DfID, this project brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers and NGOs, with links throughout Amazonia, to identify the full range of opportunities and capacity building requirements to access carbon and biodiversity-based payments for Ecosystem Services in Peruvian Amazonia.
