Abstract

Projects designed to incentivize ecosystem management for societal benefits are becoming increasingly popular and are often touted as win–win solutions for social and environmental challenges. Yet, there are important concerns about the equity and justice implications of these programs, and there is strong evidence that a lack of attention to justice can exacerbate or create inequities. We focus on water funds, a subset of watershed ecosystem investment programs that are being scaled globally. We specifically discuss how three long‐standing Andean programs have shifted through time toward a greater focus on equity and justice. We argue that these shifts, while imperfect, have been critical to their durability and that, more generally, continued alignment of nature‐based investment programs with broader equity and justice concerns is essential for long‐term durability and success.
实现更公平的生态系统投资计划——适应和公平是成功的水基金设计和运作的核心
旨在激励生态系统管理以获得社会效益的项目正变得越来越受欢迎,并且经常被吹捧为解决社会和环境挑战的双赢解决方案。然而,这些项目对公平和正义的影响存在重要的担忧,并且有强有力的证据表明,缺乏对正义的关注会加剧或造成不平等。我们专注于水基金,这是全球范围内正在扩大的流域生态系统投资项目的一个子集。我们特别讨论了三个长期存在的安第斯项目如何随着时间的推移而转向更加注重公平和正义。我们认为,这些转变虽然不完美,但对其持久性至关重要,更普遍地说,基于自然的投资项目与更广泛的公平和正义问题的持续一致对长期持久性和成功至关重要。

期刊介绍: Conservation Letters is a reputable scientific journal that is devoted to the publication of both empirical and theoretical research that has important implications for the conservation of biological diversity. The journal warmly invites submissions from various disciplines within the biological and social sciences, with a particular interest in interdisciplinary work. The primary aim is to advance both pragmatic conservation objectives and scientific knowledge. Manuscripts are subject to a rapid communication schedule, therefore they should address current and relevant topics. Research articles should effectively communicate the significance of their findings in relation to conservation policy and practice.
