Off the charts? Reasons to be skeptical of the growth in biodiversity finance
Recent estimates point to dramatic increases in private capital flowing to biodiversity. Examining main sources of this increase — equity investments and debt — this review asks how biodiversity finance is being calculated, and whether private capital flowing to biodiversity action is growing as much as reported. Furthermore, by examining the literature on the standards and metrics, we ask whether these increases are likely to facilitate biodiver…
Embedding local values in Payments for Ecosystem Services for transformative change
Praxis in resource geography
Navigating the complications and contradictions that often arise when critical scholars engage with the “subjects” of their research in ways meant to support social change is a messy business. This chapter explores the tensions involved in this mixing of theory and practice (praxis) through the lens of four cases drawn from our differing experiences as critical scholars but holding in common engagement with marginalized peoples involved in the ma…
An Alternative Theorization of Payments for Ecosystem Services from Mexico
The national Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) programmes of Mexico were originally based on the neoclassical economic theory that conceptualized ecosystems as factories whose various outputs can be quantified and converted to commodities. This model of PES clashed with an alternative theorization, Compensation for Ecosystem Services (CES), with home-grown roots in the ontological orientation and contextualized experience of an epistemic comm…
Silencing Agency in Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) by Essentializing a Neoliberal ‘Monster’ Into Being
Embedding Carbon Markets
Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are increasingly employed to address a range of environmental issues, including biodiversity conservation, watershed protection, and climate change mitigation. PES initiatives have gained momentum since the 1990s, and market enthusiasts have promoted them as not only cost effective but generative of social and ecological co-benefits for local communities. Whereas the neoliberalization and commodification of n…
Contesting Market-Based Conservation
The Mexican national Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs, which provide financial incentives for rural landholders to conserve forest, were originally designed under the logic of market-based conservation. Based on a multi-sited, multi-scalar ethnography of Mexico's PES programs, this article examines the process through which a national rural social movement was able to redefine the market-based narrative of PES, the historical and pol…
