RABA was developed under the assumption that effective natural-resource management, including biodiversity conservation, can only be achieved if there is a synergy between three different types of capital: human, natural and social. Linkage between human and natural capital would result in good land use manage ment, while synergy between natural and social capital would produce a solid institution for managing natural resources. The combination of all three provides the basis of evaluation for rewarding local agrobiodiversity conservation. RABA sees the success of reward mechanism for environmental service as being conditional on four elements: Natural capital, human capital, and social bonding and social bridging capital.
