Descripción de la sesión

Some governments have introduced public compensation programs for protected areas, but these initiatives often struggle to catalyze an economic transition towards a nature-positive economy. For instance, in Korea, the government has been implementing Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) focused on wetlands, larger rivers, and reservoirs, whereas the Jeju government has launched a program aimed at the entire island, encouraging voluntary conservation efforts by local communities through eco-tourism. To effectively shift our conservation models via economic transition, more innovative ideas need to be shared and this session will address the challenges and help shape conservation models through best practices.
