The Rewards for, Use of, and Shared Investment in, Pro-poor Environmental Services (RUPES) project, phase 2 (2008 12), coordinated by the World Agroforestry Centre, was the second stage of the introduction of the concept of rewarding people to protect or enhance environmental services that benefit businesses and the wider population. The programme was designed to follow-up and expand on the lessons learned in RUPES 1 in Indonesia, the Philippines, Viet Nam, Nepal, India and China. The ultimate target group for RUPES 2 was indigenous forest dwellers and smallholding farmers in less productive environments that were vulnerable to environmental degradation and climate change. Activities aimed at the national policies and the ‘buyer’ and ‘broker’ part of the rewards for environmental services (RES) value chain were aimed at long-term sustainability of benefits for the primary target group. RUPES 2 gave ample consideration to innovative approaches that targeted fair and efficient schemes for RES.
