Payments for Environmental Services: Evolution Toward Efficient and Fair Incentives for Multifunctional Landscapes (2012, background): “It is possible to pay an additional sum to cover the additional costs for poor households to participate; empirical estimates of what such an approach would cost for a tree-planting project in Tanzania are available (142).”
Only One Tree from Each Seed? Environmental Effectiveness and Poverty Alleviation in Mexico's Payments for Ecosystem Services Program (2015, background): “Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Brazil have already established payments for avoided deforestation programs while other countries are experimenting with them (Jindal, Swallow, and Kerr 2008, Wunder and Wertz-Kanounnikoff 2009, United Nations REDD Programme 2011).”
Payments for Ecosystem Services: Rife With Problems and Potential—For Transformation Towards Sustainability (2017, background): “5 because their fast growth satisfies carbon sequestration goals, but also consume much water, cause considerable soil loss and sedimentation, and may provide little habitat for biodiversity, even at maturity (Farley et al., 2005; Jackson et al., 2005; Jindal et al., 2008; Bremer & Farley, 2010).”
Policy design for forest carbon sequestration: A review of the literature (2016, background): “Jindal et al. (2008) survey 23 REDD projects in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, which differ with respect to project size, benefit sharing with the community, potential carbon sequestration, and forest activity (forest conservation, IFM, A/R).”
Problematizing REDD+ as an experiment in payments for ecosystem services (2012, background): “promoting tenure security), funding infrastructure and facilitating the establishment of farmer groups and of cross-scale social networks to better manage forest resources whilst promoting best practice sharing [43,79–81].”
