Rewarding Upland Poor for Environmental Services (RUPES)

Export citation

Across South East Asia biodiversity conservation and local development efforts have been segregated. In general, poor people living in the upland areas are perceived to threaten the natural environment. The Rewarding Upland Poor for Environmental Services (Rupes) project suggests a shift. It aims to integrate nature conservation and development by rewarding the upland poor for environmental services they provide.
