Integrating payment for ecosystem services in protected areas governance: The case of the Po Delta Park

M. Gaglio, M. Lanzoni, F. Goggi, E.A. Fano and G. Castaldelli

Ecosystem Services, 2023, vol. 60, issue C

Abstract: The effective inclusion of Ecosystem Services (ES) in the governance of Protected Areas (PAs) is a key challenge for future environmental governance. In this sense, Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) have been conceived as instruments to internalize costs of environmental management and establish a consequential link between ES users and providers. Thus, while there is a current pressingly need for genuine PES mechanisms, in very rare cases it has been possible to satisfy this requirement. This paves the way for the study of alternative methods, such as PES-like schemes, which may be already in practice in PAs.
