Reconciling theory and practice: An alternative conceptual framework for understanding payments for environmental services (2010, background): “For instance, in the PES scheme for forest conservation in Costa Rica, possibly the most well known PES scheme in Latin America, most environmental service providers are relatively well-off landholders (Miranda et al., 2003; Zbinden and Lee, 2005; Kosoy et al., 2007).”
Examining equity: a multidimensional framework for assessing equity in payments for ecosystem services (2013, unknown): “…land-based ecosystem services requires access to land, thereby excluding the landless from such PES schemes; delivering such services most efficiently favours participation by larger landowners, with predictable consequences for local equity (Grieg-Gran et al., 2005; Zbinden and Lee, 2005).”
Incentives, conditionality and collective action in payment for environmental services (2014, background): “Costa Rica’s national PES program and several well-documented payment for watershed services programs are cases in point (Zbinden and Lee 2005; Southgate and Wunder 2009).”
Why do farmers join Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes? An Assessment of PES water scheme participation in Brazil (2014, background): “This is not surprising, since other studies have pointed towards to the importance of effective communication strategies between scheme managers and rural communities (Garbach et al., 2012; Zbinden and Lee, 2005).”
Payments for environmental services in watersheds: Insights from a comparative study of three cases in Central America (2007, background): “The social impacts of payments for environmental services in Costa Rica: a quantitative field survey and analysis of the Virilla watershed.”
Consequences of Environmental Service Payments for Forest Retention and Recruitment in a Costa Rican Biological Corridor (2009, methodology): “…Forestry Development Commission of San Carlos (CODEFORSA) initiated > 400 PSA contracts with landowners between 1996 and 2005 (Chomitz et al. 1999, Zbinden and Lee 2005). http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol14/iss1/art23/ (3 of 15) [5/15/2009 11:14:41 AM] The Corridor contains one of Costa Rica’s…”
Payments for environmental services as neoliberal market-based forest conservation in Vietnam: Panacea or problem? (2012, result): “For example, in one study of Costa Rica’s program, non-PES participants held an average forested area of just 7 ha while PES participants had 160 ha (Zbinden and Lee, 2005).”
Do farmers benefit from participating in specialty markets and cooperatives? The case of coffee marketing in Costa Rica1 (2007, background): “…1983; Zbinden and Lee 2005), membership in farmers’ organizations (De Souza Filho, Yound et al. 1999), access to extension services (Nowak 1987) and household labor availability (Neupane, Sharma et al. 2002; Zbinden and Lee 2005) to influence the adoption of innovative agricultural practices.”
Poverty and biodiversity: Measuring the overlap of human poverty and the biodiversity hotspots (2007, unknown): “Evidence from Costa Rica supports this as payments attend to short-term cash constraints, as debt has been shown to be a strong predictor for participation (Zbinden and Lee, 2005).”
Do Payments for Environmental Services Affect Forest Cover? A Farm-Level Evaluation from Costa Rica (2012, background): “In the words of a key informant, if an impact were not observed in Sarapiquı́, it would be hard to imagine where an impact would be observed in Costa Rica.”
Impacts of payments for environmental services on local development in northern Costa Rica : A fuzzy multi-criteria analysis (2008, background): “3 various empirical field studies dealt with the environmental and social impacts of the PSA (Rojas and Aylward, 2003) and landowner participation (Zbinden and Lee, 2005).”
