Abstract

Rapid Agrobiodiversity Assessment tries to link sellers with potential buyers of biodiversity conservation services to engage in an agreement for environmental services payment. It is a tool that provides guidance on what kind of general information that needs to be explored prior to engagement. The scope of RABA comprises of delineating the interest groups and their domains and identifying potential partners. These are done by capturing the perspectives of each interest group, including intermediary, on what they perceive as substantial and relevant and what are not in regard to providing biodiversity conservation service.
