Challenges in framing the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity: the TEEB initiative (2010, background): “At the national level, however, various forms of PES have already been implemented, and the properties of PES as market-based instruments have been the subject of intense debate [85–87].”
Show Me the Money: Do Payments Supply Environmental Services in Developing Countries? (2010, background): “The main criteria for selecting the specific case study programs were closeness to the archetype PES concept (Wunder 2007), broad geographical coverage, significance (in terms of geographic area and number of people covered), years in operation, and information availability.”
Efficiency of Payments for Environmental Services: Equity and additionality in a case study from a Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico (2011, background): “PES have been claimed as a more efficient way of reaching conservation and development goals than indirect strategies like Integrated Conservation and Development Projects (ICDPs) (Engel et al., 2008; Wunder, 2006).”
Opportunity costs: Who really pays for conservation? (2010, methodology): “Opportunity costs have also been used in cost-benefit analyses of alternative land uses in conservation planning (Kremen et al., 2000; Lauren et al., 2007; Sinden, 2004; Wunder, 2007).”
The role of fairness and benefit distribution in community-based Payment for Environmental Services interventions: A case study from Menabe, Madagascar☆ (2010, background): “This case study's management system fulfils the criteria for a PES, in that there are voluntary agreements between a buyer (Durrell) and sellers (each community) where payments (annual incentives) are made contingent on the provision of an ecological service (biodiversity performance based on annual”
Managing the Miombo Woodlands of Southern Africa: Policies, Incentives and Options for the Rural Poor (2010, neutral): “Interest in the idea of organizing schemes through which individuals and communities receive “payments for environment services” (PES) is also growing (Wunder 2007).”
Payments for agrobiodiversity conservation services for sustained on-farm utilization of plant and animal genetic resources (2011, background): “Similarly, there is a danger that poorer farmers may not always be able to overcome entry bariers related to land tenure requirements and transaction costs (as per Grieg-Gran et al., 2005; Wunder, 2007).”
Green economy and carbon markets for conservation and development: a critical view (2016, background): “…areas (CIFOR 2008).4 To meet the green-economy goal of market efficiency, payment amounts should be just high enough to persuade the recipients to make the more environmentally beneficial choice, but no higher, so that maximum conservation gains will be achieved at minimal cost (Wunder 2007).”
Designing and Implementing Effective REDD + Policies: A Forest Transition Approach (2013, background): “Such policies have helped to conserve forests (Wunder 2003), but they also conflict with the objectives of enhancing food security and reducing poverty.”
Understanding the relationships between ecosystem services and poverty alleviation: A conceptual framework (2014, positive): “Furthermore, those with only operational rights may lose access to the resource when the service is commodified, particularly in ‘use-restricting’ (as opposed to ‘asset-building’, Wunder, 2007) schemes.”
Smart spatial incentives for market-based conservation (2008, background): “Market-based instruments such as payments (Wunder, 2007; Drechsler et al., 2007), auctions (Latacz-Lohmann and Van der Hamsvoort, 1998) or biodiversity o set trading (Panayotou, 1994; Chomitz, 2004) have been suggested as a means to complement existing reserves by inducing biodiversity protection…”
