Watershed Management Approaches, Policies, and Operations : Lessons for Scaling Up (2008, background): “The multiplicity of stakeholders: Watersheds provide many important services to an extensive range of stakeholders, and changes in land and water management and in watershed hydrology will directly or indirectly affect many or all of them (Kerr 2002b).”
Show Me the Money: Do Payments Supply Environmental Services in Developing Countries? (2010, background): “In summary, although conceptual models suggest PES can alleviate poverty under some conditions (Kerr 2002; Pagiola, Arcenas, and Platais 2005; Wunder 2008), the quantitative, empirical basis for attributing changes in poverty to PES remains limited.”
Market inefficiencies and the adoption of agricultural technologies in developing countries 1 (2013, background): “Concerns about environmental impacts sometimes directly conflict with short-run poverty alleviation, such as for water extraction technologies that simultaneously increase income for the adopter and lead to depletion of the resource for others (e.g. Kerr 2002).”
Impact of China's Large-Scale Ecological Restoration Program on the Environment and Society in Arid and Semiarid Areas of China: Achievements, Problems, Synthesis, and Applications (2011, background): “But the relation with poverty alleviation is ambiguous because net benefits are skewed toward the wealthiest while the poorest people bear many of the costs (Kerr, 2002).”
Payments for environmental services in watersheds: Insights from a comparative study of three cases in Central America (2007, background): “PES may work as multipurpose (win–win) instruments, improving the conditions of different types of natural re- sources at the same time (e.g. forests and water), raising awareness about the economic worth of ecosystems, and contributing to economic development (Landell-Mills, 2002).”
Payments for environmental services and the poor: concepts and preliminary evidence (2008, background): “Regarding tenure, one global review had feared that PES could induce more powerful groups to crowd out smallholders from their land whenever insecure property rights existed (Landell-Mills and Porras, 2002).”
Can Payments for Environmental Services Help Reduce Poverty? An Exploration of the Issues and the Evidence to Date from Latin America (2005, background): “This is exemplified by the experience of Sukhomajri, in India, where the establishment of a system of payments for the services that villagers provide enhanced cooperation within the community (Kerr, 2002a).”
Can the poor participate in payments for environmental services? Lessons from the Silvopastoral Project in Nicaragua (2008, background): “Many have assumed that PES will contribute to poverty reduction by making payments to poor land users, while others have warned of potential dangers (Kerr, 2002; Landell-Mills and Porras, 2002; Pagiola et al., 2002; Grieg-Gran et al., 2005; Pagiola et al., 2005).”
The forest transition: Towards a more comprehensive theoretical framework☆ (2010, background): “…o restore degraded forests, promote replanting by landowners nd induce afforestation (Démurger and Yang, 2006; Foster and osenzweig, 2003; Kerr, 2002; Mather, 2007; Wang et al., 2004). n addition, there is increasing evidence of a world “forest tenure” ransition occurring, as ownership…”
Payments for environmental services as neoliberal market-based forest conservation in Vietnam: Panacea or problem? (2012, background): “, 2008); in other cases, conservation restrictions have resulted in clear trade-offs that fall hardest on the poor and women (Kerr, 2002).”
Designing payments for environmental services in theory and practice: An overview of the issues (2008, background): “Nevertheless, many have assumed that PES will contribute to poverty reduction by making payments to poor land users, while others have warned of potential dangers (Landell-Mills and Porras, 2002; Pagiola et al., 2002; Kerr, 2002; Pagiola et al., 2005; Grieg-Gran et al., 2005; Ravnborg et al., 2007; ”
