“We invest it in the forest”: Multiple payments for ecosystem services (PES) programs as inputs for community forestry in Amanalco, Mexico
Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are a fast-growing forest conservation instrument across the Global South which often operate within a broader policy mix. We analyze the collective and individual development strategies that result from the dynamic interplay of multiple PES programs in a context of common-property. Our case study is the municipality of Amanalco, in the State of Mexico, a temperate forest site of high hydrological importance …
Assessing recreational boat usage and compliance with marine park regulations in Anse de Saint-Étienne (Saguenay Fjord, Québec): Implications for beluga conservation
The Saguenay Fjord, a crucial habitat for the St. Lawrence beluga whale population, is a popular area for recreational boating. However, recreational boat activities are poorly documented, as these boats are not required to have on-board systems providing information on their movements. The aim of this study is to describe how a portion of the Saguenay Fjord is used by recreational boats and beluga whales, as well as their potential interactions,…
Study of the local population's perceptions of the ecosystem services provided by mangroves in Benin
Background: Mangrove ecosystems, which provide various ecosystem services (ES), face threats from both natural and anthropogenic sources. However, the relationship between ES and their direct beneficiaries, namely local communities, is often not obvious. This study analyzed the perceptions of the local population regarding the importance of different ES categories in the mangrove region of the Bouche du Roy Community Biodiversity Conservation Are…
Remote participatory research has logistical benefits, but presents scientific and ethical challenges
Analysis of the Institutional Framework for the Management of Community Areas Through the Prism of Institutional Bricolage: The Case of Benin’s Bouche du Roy
Natural resource governance requires the collaboration of various stakeholders, including community, state and private institutions. Using an institutional bricolage theoretical framework and stakeholder theory, we analyzed stakeholder influences and interrelationships in the management of the Bouche du Roy Community Biodiversity Conservation Area (CBCA). We conducted semi-structured interviews with seventy-three (73) participants from responsibl…
Contradictory distributive principles and land tenure govern benefit-sharing of payments for ecosystem services (PES) in Chiapas, Mexico
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are incentive-based instruments that provide conditional economic incentives for natural resources management. Research has shown that when economic incentives are parachuted into rural communities, participation and benefits are collectively negotiated and shared. However, we know little about how benefit-sharing evolves over time in community-based PES. To address this gap, we examine distributional justice…

Mixing Public and Private Agri-Environment Schemes: Effects on Farmers Participation in Quebec, Canada
Incentive-based mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) are increasingly being employed to encourage adoption of biodiversity conservation practices in agriculture. Farmers’ participation in a PES depends – amongst other factors – on their interactions with previous programs and schemes. This research analyses how the institutional characteristics and interactions of incentive-based mechanisms shape the type of farmers’ particip…

Would you like some fries with your ecosystem services: McDonaldization and conservation in Prince Edward Island, Canada
In response to widespread soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and rapid social and ecological homogenization of agri-environmental landscapes, economic incentives such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) are presented by natural resource managers as the most efficient way to address the unintended consequences of intensive agriculture. In this article, we explore the consequences of rationalizing conservation by adopting sociologist George Ritz…
L’éducation relative à l’environnement dans la Réserve de biosphère du mont Saint-Hilaire: Observations et tensions
Le Programme sur l’Homme et la Biosphère (Programme MAB) de l’UNESCO vise à établir une base scientifique pour améliorer les relations entre l’humanité et la nature à l’échelle mondiale. Après presque 50 ans d’existence, l’expression la plus tangible du Programme MAB est un réseau de réserves de biosphère dont l’un des principaux objectifs est l’éducation. Puisque l’éducation relative à l’environnement a pour visée l’harmonisation du réseau de re…

Comparing polycentric configuration for adaptive governance within community forests: Case studies in Eastern North America
Looking at two cases of community forests (CF) in Eastern North America, this article examines their institutional features in order to assess whether they are conducive to adaptive governance. To do so, this article presents CFs as manifestations of polycentric governance, which allow identifying the complex networks of relations existing between different actors involved in governance at many scales. Polycentric governance is assumed to have a …
Studying Resource-Dependent Communities Through a Social-Ecological Lens? Examining Complementarity with Existing Research Traditions in Canada
This article explores the suitability of Ostrom and colleagues' social-ecological systems framework (SESF) for the study of resource-dependent communities in Canada. Through a broad literature about resource-dependent communities in Canada, three main approaches are identified, named staples research, rural development, and sustainability studies. Each of these research traditions is analyzed with regards to a common set of criteria – focus, scal…
Moving forward in implementing green infrastructures: Stakeholder perceptions of opportunities and obstacles in a major North American metropolitan area
Using contingent valuation and choice experiment to value the impacts of agri-environmental practices on landscapes aesthetics
This study explores the willingness to pay (WTP) for an improvement of the environmental situation in agricultural areas with a specific focus on landscape aesthetics. We used the contingent valuation method to measure the discrete value of landscape aesthetics externalities produced by different beneficial management practices implementation scenarios. The choice experiment method was also used to measure the economic value of other ecosystem se…
La participation publique dans la gestion des forêts du Québec: Réorganisation de la concertation régionale dans un contexte institutionnel en transition
La gouvernance forestière au Québec a subi de multiples mutations au cours des dernières décennies. D’un régime forestier qui favorisait les acteurs industriels, le gouvernement québécois a progressivement intégré toute une variété d’acteurs locaux et régionaux. Au printemps 2015, le gouvernement adoptait cependant un projet de loi entraînant l’abolition de plusieurs structures de développement régional, notamment les Conférences régionales des é…
Neoliberal performatives and the 'making' of Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES)
This paper argues that Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) serve as a neoliberal performative act, in which idealized conditions are re-constituted by well-resourced and networked epistemic communities with the objective of bringing a distinctly instrumental and utilitarian relationality between humans and nature into existence. We illustrate the performative agency of hegemonic epistemic communities advocating (P)ES imaginaries to differentiat…

Management of vegetation under electric distribution lines will affect the supply of multiple ecosystem services
Regards sur les systèmes de paiements pour services écosystémiques en milieu agricole au Québec
Malgré l’intérêt croissant qu’ils suscitent, les instruments de « paiements pour services écosystémiques » (PSE), sont encore loin d’être les stratégies politiques dominantes dans la conservation de la biodiversité et la protection du milieu, au Québec comme ailleurs. Afin de comprendre si les systèmes de PSE en place au Québec permettent d’augmenter le potentiel d’action des politiques publiques dans le domaine agricole, nous présentons d’abord …
Towards the Establishment of a Green Infrastructure in the Region of Montreal (Quebec, Canada)
Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews held with key actors involved in the planning of the Greater Montreal region, we seek to understand the conditions that could lead to the establishment of a green infrastructure for the city. This article first describes the region's environmental and political context and then analyzes the opportunities, constraints, advantages and disadvantages in the implementation of this type of project. We …
Economic value of Greater Montreal's non‐market ecosystem services in a land use management and planning perspective
The Greater Montreal (Quebec, Canada) area is currently re‐evaluating the future of its land use planning and development sector. One of the approaches being considered is the monetization of non‐market goods and services provided by biodiversity and ecosystems in this region. This is in the interest of providing decision makers and stakeholders a tool for quantification and comparison. Herein we analyzed land use cover in 2010 and applied benefi…
