Ulugurus Mts, Morogoro, Tanzania

From 15-20 September, PRESA staff and collaborators were active at the East and Southern Africa Katoomba Meeting, Taking Stock & Charting a Way Forward: Payments for Ecosystem Services in Africa, in Dar es Salaam. The meeting was an excellent opportunity for learning about the latest PES developments in Africa and beyond, catching up with our collaborators, and making new connections with researchers, students and the private sector. We also shared our own research and insightsa at the pre-conference training, during the public meeting and at the private meeting in Morogoro, with the following presentations…

Brent Swallow, Peter Akong Minang and Aichi Kitalyi: Avoided Deforestation with Sustainable Benefits: Challenges for Tanzania (and Everywhere!)

Thomas Yatich: Kitengela Wildlife Lease Programme: is it realistic, conditional, pro-poor and voluntary?

Brent Swallow: Global Overview of Biodiversity Markets, Payments & Offsets
