Compensation schemes are important tools to counteract crop or livestock loss caused by wildlife of conservation concern. We adopted a research action approach that focused on local actors’ knowledge and evaluations of a compensation scheme for carnivore depredation on livestock in Mexico. We conducted 165 questionnaires with livestock producers in the Calakmul region, who rated criteria covering various aspects of the scheme’s functioning. Three-quarters of participants had heard of the scheme, but only half of those knew the scheme beyond its name. Satisfaction with the scheme’s operation was associated with ease of contacting staff, whereas satisfaction with the result of application related to trust in staff. Using local actors’ perceptions allowed us to reveal criteria used for shaping evaluations. Results were presented during participatory workshops that generated targeted recommendations such as focusing efforts on information reaching areas where producers are less aware of the scheme and vulnerable to predation
