Sowing seeds for a green economy Exploring payment for ecosystem services in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve

Description
-
The project "Sowing Seeds for a Green Economy" in the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve explores Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) as a way to align investments in environmental and human well-being. PES involves voluntary transactions where service providers secure ecosystem services for buyers, focusing on conditions like continuous service provision and rewarding additional efforts. The initiative aims to profile selected sites, implement pilot projects on water, pollination, and non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and advocate for policy collaboration across regional governments. Preliminary outcomes suggest positive impacts on water management, NTFP valuation, and pollinator habitat assessments, with future efforts geared towards engaging stakeholders and integrating PES with climate finance.
