Payment for environment services: experiences and lessons in Vietnam
The concept behind payments (or other rewards) for environmental services1 is to provide incentives and benefits to the people who utilise environmentally valuable ecosystems2, and in return they agree to utilise these ecosystems in ways that protect or enhance environmental services for the benefit of the wider population. For the provision of such services, individuals or communities can be directly rewarded. Another way to express the concept behind Payment for Environmental Service (PES) is that those who provide ecosystem services should be compensated or rewarded for doing so, and those who use the services should pay for their provision.
