Payment for ecosystem services (PES) is a type of environmental policy instrument that gives the owner of a natural resource direct incentives to manage it in society’s best interest. For the resource owner this usually means giving up some private income (for example from timber sale) in exchange for a compensation for the ecosystem services (for example climate regulation, water purification, biodiversity protection, reduced nutrient runoff etc.).
