Abstract
Sri Lanka holds great potential for developing PES and environmental service markets. It is however a relative new concept and improving awareness and building institutional capacity remains a top priority and challenge. Therefore, site specific assessments in support of PES should be developed with the purpose of: identifying, assessing and prioritizing ecosystem services; and supporting the development of equitable institutional arrangements that ensure access to benefits by potential buyers.
