Ecosystem Services, 2020, vol. 46, issue C

Abstract: Economic instruments are being used as a way of funding the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems. In the last twenty years, ecosystem services have become an unavoidable part of the environmental management agenda. Currently the search is on to find practical ways of expanding the use of the ecosystem services framework. The objective of this article is to analyze, from a case study of Alianza do Pastizal certification for beef cattle in the Pampas biome, the potential for certification and labeling as an incentive for landowners to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services on private land. The contribution of this article is to highlight the capacity of certification and labeling to create incentives for financing the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in private lands.
