Our new paper in Global Environmental Change shows how institutional change can enable Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in countries that do not have PES laws: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cW7j3Q8oQ9Q… #Institutions #Conservation #EcosystemServices

Just uploaded, fascinating study by @SofiaAtSea exploring human costs of enforcement & compliance with #MPAs from perspective of both #rangers & rule-breakers; both sides bear a range of physical, material, psychological & social costs iccs.org.uk/sites/www.iccs…
