PES is being piloted all over the world, including Southeast Asia, and particularly in Vietnam. The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) has been active in establishing the PES concept in Vietnam since 2002. From the start, ICRAF, in partnership with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), conducted PES pre-assessment studies, interviews and meetings with stakeholders to formulate a PES action plan for Vietnam. Since then, and especially from 2004, ICRAF Vietnam has partnered with several international and national organizations to work with PES capacity building and awareness-raising, through a series of stakeholder workshops and publication of booklets and policy briefs. Research findings in the last two years have shown that PES pilots in other parts of the world as well as in Vietnam have focused on payments for water services, carbon sequestration and soil protection. There have not been enough studies conducted to test the viability of landscape beauty as an environmental service in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
