Abstract
Mexico, Costa Rica, and Ecuador have
substantial experience with implementing payments for
ecosystem services (PES) and conservation incentive
programs. Yet, many aspects of their experiences remain
poorly understood and will require special attention in any
new or expanded use of these types of incentives. As these
countries, along with many others, get ready to implement
integrated approaches to Reduced Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD or REDD+), they
seek to understand how the lessons and challenges from their
past experiences, as well as the wider lessons from similar
initiatives around the world, can inform their emerging
REDD+ strategies, policies, institutional frameworks, and
tools. This report describes examples of how each of these
topics has been tackled in national programs and how these
experiences can inform the development of REDD+ in the three
focus countries and beyond.
