The document summarizes the results of a survey and interviews about environmental services schemes (RES) projects. It finds that most projects provide financial rewards like payments but some do not offer any. Contracts are usually short and simple. Many projects face challenges with sustainable financing and lack of awareness. The projects were examined through three paradigms of environmental services but many defy classification under just one. Non-financial benefits and trust-building are important for long-term participation. While projects generate environmental services in impoverished areas, most only weakly reduce poverty.
