Abstract
⺠PES is a rapidly growing approach to conservation. ⺠Payments can only be conditional on services if services can be monitored. ⺠We present a framework for designing monitoring in PES schemes. ⺠Monitoring most species indicators with reasonable statistical power is costly. ⺠Consideration of monitoring costs and practicality must be central to the design of PES schemes.
