Track 2-8-1: Impact of Market Demands on Grassland Management and Livestock Husbandry
Description
Rangelands provide a variety of non-monetary goods and services essential to human survival and well-being such as regulate climate and water, generate cultural benefits such as recreation, create habitat for biodiversity and soil conservation. Perhaps the most important problem our society currently faces is how to allocate ecosystem structure between conversion to economic production and conservation to provide ecosystem services, both of which are essential to our well-being and also has an important role in economic interaction between suppliers and users as PES.The “payment for ecosystem services” (PES) is one of economic instruments which have been widely used throughout the world in recent years. It has been providing positive results. The participation of corporate stakeholders and local communities are among the advantages of this method. This is one of the essential approaches for sustainable range management. The main aim of this study is to give an experience on Payments mechanisms for Ecosystem Services (PES) based provided by rangelands based "soil conservation of range plants vegetation". This policy associated to the transition from the government that must pay to the stakeholders or landowners of rangelands in exchange for managing their land to reduce soil erosion and sediment by Lar dam in downstream. However, there is shortage of scientific studies and publication on these aspects.
