Abstract:
Thus, this study has sought to explore the potential for further work with an important national park in Thailand related to mechanisms for rewarding local communities helping provide stewardship for its natural resources. Initial interest focused on a mechanism that now provides funds to elected local sub-district governments near the park, based on a percentage of revenues collected by the park from visitors. With this starting point, the study became a more general exploration of how PES-like concepts and mechanisms are or might be useful for national park management at DINP.
