REFLEXÕES SOBRE O PAGAMENTO POR SERVIÇOS AMBIENTAIS E AS PERPSEPCTIVAS SOBRE PSAs NO BRASIL

Abstract

The global discussion about environmental issues claims for more effective and innovative actions which give more credit to a better ratio between Nature and Humankind. For developing this type of relationship, it is important to think, discuss and plan new strategies of environmental planning such as the Payment for Ecosystems Services (PES) schemes. The justification for these programs is that the conservation proceedings require better approaches that foster the conciliation between economic development, social development, preservation and conservation of their natural areas. Moreover, PES could allow more time to review their own concepts about environment ethical values, in special about a market system that explores much more than the planet can regenerate. Following this goal, the aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of PES for environmental policies and to examine the perspective of PES utilization in Brazil on a macro-scale scope.
