Instrumentos económicos basados en mercados para la conservación de la biodiversidad y los servicios ecosistémicos en Latinoamérica: ¿panacea o rueda cuadrada?

The study analyzed 60 market-based economic instruments for nature conservation (MBEINC) in Latin America, finding that only 43% met environmental objectives and 17% were socially equitable. The research found no statistically significant relationship between environmental effectiveness and social equity, nor any correlation between project success and the surveyed economic, political, or institutional characteristics, suggesting there is insufficient evidence to support MBEINC as a consistently effective or equitable tool for biodiversity conservation in the region.

• An analysis of 60 projects utilizing market-based economic instruments for nature conservation (MBEINC) in Latin America revealed that 43% achieved their environmental objectives, while only approximately 17% were considered socially equitable.
• The study found no statistically significant relationship between environmental effectiveness and social equity, suggesting an absence of synergies or tradeoffs between these two objectives.
• Neither effectiveness nor social equity showed a significant association with the surveyed economic, political, or institutional characteristics, indicating that no single institutional arrangement guarantees positive outcomes for these mechanisms.
