Management effectiveness can also be further improved. The federal government, through CONAFOR, launched two PES initiatives involving forest management: the Hydrological Ecosystem Services Programme (PSAH) in 2003 and the Programme to Develop Ecosystem Service Markets for Carbon Sequestration and Biodiversity and to Establish and Improve Agro-forestry Systems (CABSA) in 2004. These PES programmes involve 3.25 million ha, making Mexico’s one of the world’s largest PES programmes (Box 5.3).
