RUIZ-JIMENEZ, Mónica e VALTIERRA-PACHECO, Esteban. Impact of payment for hydrological environmental services in forests from three ejidos in Texcoco, México. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.4, pp.511-531. ISSN 1870-5472.
The objective of this study is to analyze the situation of ejido forest properties after having participated in the Program for Hydrological Environmental Services (PSAH) of the National Forest Commission (CONAFOR) from 2005 to 2010. At the beginning the three forest properties were classified as “Resting”; that is, that they were not used for timber extraction. During this period, the condition of the forest in the three properties participating in the PSAH improved, due to the soil conservation and reforestation works, and because during the five years there was no timber extraction. In 2011, the ejidos decided to restart timber exploitation in two of the properties benefitted when the payment for environmental services ended. However, the third property was preserved as a conservation area. This means that the payment made by the CONAFOR through the PSAH does not guarantee the conservation of forests or the provision of environmental services in the long term.
