Liang (researcher, China National Forestry Economics and Development Research Center) provides an evaluation of China's payment policies for forest ecosystem services, one of the Chinese government's policies initiated to reverse the degradation of its forests. The payment for ecosystem services (PES) policies are intended to change the traditional methods of forest management and to encourage sustainable use with financial incentives. The author explores theoretical perspectives for PES and local PES schemes in different locations of the country. His conclusion touches on their environmental effectiveness, economic impacts, participation, and other related topics. The book will interest policy makers and government advisers in China, donor agencies, academics, and students in related fields. Distributed in the U.S. by Enfield.

Faced with intensified ecological crisis, the Chinese government has sought policy interventions to reverse its forest degradation. Among the policy instruments is the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) that aims to transform the pattern of traditional forest management and protection and to encourage forest sustainable use by financial incentive. This book provides a policy evaluation on the payment schemes for forest ecosystem services in China. It examines PES schemes with respect to ecological effectiveness, economic and livelihood impacts, participation of local people, and the interlinkages with forest tenure reform. The evaluation is based on different cases across China's main forested regions. The implementation of payment schemes in China shows improvements in forest management and protection and an incentive-based governance method is employed instead of 'command and control'. New forest use practices are also created to couple local livelihood requirements with ecological conservation. In addition, local farmers are more and more involved in the implementation of payment schemes.Providing a comprehensive assessment of payment policies for ecosystem services in China, this book will be of great interest to policy-makers and government advisers in China, international donor agencies, and academics and students with an interest in PES and forest governance.
