Abstract:
RUPES phase 2 (Rewards for, use of, and shared investment in pro-poor environmental services) (2008–2012) expanded its work to 10 more action research sites in six countries: Songhuaba, Tibetan Plateau and Xishuangbanna in China; Lake Loktak in India; Cidanau, Citarum and Kuningan in Indonesia; Shivapuri in Nepal; Lantapan in the Philippines; and Bac Kan in Viet Nam. In addition, RUPES also continued collaboration with other organizations and projects at six learning sites across Asia.
RUPES has encouraged adoption of improved forest, land and watershed management practices through environmental services compensation and rewards’ schemes by promoting a set of principles: realistic, conditional, voluntary and pro-poor1. RUPES supported rewards’ mechanisms that provided cash payments to farmers who conducted reforestation and conservation activities, such as the Sloping Farmland Conversion Program and Grassland Conservation Rewards Program in China, a voluntary carbon scheme in Singkarak, and a reforestation scheme on farmers’ private land in Cidanau.
