From June 13 to 15, Forest Trends supported a workshop in Acre, Brazil in the Indigenous Territory Rio Gregorio of the Yawanawa People. This workshop sought to determine if an ecosystem services project is a possibility for the Yawanawa People, and how compensation for ecosystem services could form a basis for the tribe?s life plan and benefit the communities. The workshop was in response to the State of Acre?s passing of a System of Incentives for Ecosystem Services (SISA) in October 2010, which seeks to reward the state?s residents for the provision of ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, water purification, traditional knowledge and more.
