Resumen
El presente estudio se realizó para toda la región centroamericana, entre julio y diciembre de 2001, con el objetivo de investigar las principales políticas e iniciativas planteadas sobre el tema de pago por servicios ambientales (PSA). Específicamente, se realiza un breve diagnóstico sobre la situación actual del PSA en Centroamérica y se recomiendan algunas medidas de política para la formulación, implementación y consolidación del PSA en el Corredor Biológico Mesoamericano. Una de las principales conclusiones es que existe especial interés y necesidad en todos los países de la región por crear el marco institucional e implementar sistemas de pago por los servicios que prestan los ecosistemas forestales. Por otra parte, se determina que para el éxito y sostenibilidad de estas iniciativas, se debe poner especial atención en los procesos de innovación, especialmente en los aspectos financiero, legal, institucional y organizacional. Se recomienda, crear sistemas de PSA, acorde a las realidades y necesidades, biofísicas, económicas y sociales de cada región o país.
