Table 1 Profile of Costa Rica’s Indigenous Peoples with Potential to Enter ESP Program
Economic activities carried out by indigenous community include the production of a variety of goods and services, a percentage of which pertains to conservation and sustainable use of forest ecosystems. Each territory has a development association, which is generally perceived as a legitimate entity. Communities have autonomy on how to use resources derived from the ESP program as long as contractual commitments are fulfilled.Challenges to define priorities within the territoryIndigenous people are owners of communal land as well as private territory. Indigenous development associations face as a primary challenge how to define place and target populations for ESP services, and manner in which funds are used and distributed. Table 2 indicates how indigenous communities will benefit from the project.Table 2: Benefits of ESP Program to Indigenous Communities
Annex 8a: Summary of Environmental AnalysisCosta Rica: EcomarketsThe goal of the proposed project is to promote the development of markets and private sector providers for environmental services supplied by privately owned forests. As such, the project directly supports the implementation of Forestry Law No. 7575: providing market-based incentives to forest owners in buffer zones for environmental services in forest ecosystems; and assisting and strengthening management capacity to continue and assure sustainable financing of public sector forestry programs administered by the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE), including the National Forestry Financing Fund (FONAFIFO) and the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC).The main services supplied by forest ecosystems in Costa Rica outlined in Law No. 7575 cover carbon sequestration, water resources protection, biodiversity protection, and scenic beauty. Based on the overall significant positive environmental benefits of the project, alleviation on deforestation and protection of biodiversity, the quality assurance team (QAT) within LCSES gave the project an environmental rating of Category “B.” By providing national economic incentives to preserve priority forest ecosystems, the project contributes to national, regional, and global conservation goals. At the regional level it supports the biological corridor through the support of conservation easements in three areas and at the global level it contributes to management of climate change.Directory: archive -> website00967A -> WEB -> DOC archive -> Gary C.
