Abstract
Pilot project that will attempt to shift current land uses to those which promote conservation and sustainability by "facilitating the interaction between the users of environmental services (buyers) and the producers of such goods." This will be done in a payment for environmental services framework for agroforestry, forest management and conservation, reforestation, afforestation, and sustainable agricultural production practices. In addition, the project will work to strengthen the support for environmental service markets.
