Pagamentos por serviços ambientais e REDD+ em territórios tradicionais:

avanços e desafios de mecanismos financeiros para conservação

Abstract

The article provides an overview of the mechanisms and programs available for indigenous peoples, quilombolas, and traditional communities to access resources allocated for conservation through "Payments for Environmental Services" (PES) in Brazil. Although traditional territories are effective as a strategy for conserving large forested areas, there are few mechanisms that compensate the peoples and communities living in these areas for their conservation efforts. Local REDD+ projects and jurisdictional REDD+ programs, as well as PES programs and policies, are some of the alternatives that have been implemented. The design and complexities of REDD+, consultation challenges, and the lack of legislation and regulations have been some of the reasons hindering the direct flow of PES resources to indigenous, quilombola, and traditional communities. We outline some of the challenges, advances, and dilemmas associated with each of these modalities based on recent experiences observed by the authors.
