Payment for Ecosystem Services

Abstract

The world population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, which will put greater
pressure on natural resources to ensure the nutritional requirements and well-being
for such a large population. Enormous investments in agricultural research, health,
energy sources, material technologies, policies for poverty reduction and strategies
for sustainable development must be made to meet this scenario. Actions to conserve
natural resources and ecosystem services are implicit in sustainable
development strategies. An increase in the number of public policies being
implemented, their results, ongoing projects and research related to environmental
conservation are being observed and attest to their current and future relevance.
