All biological life requires an external energy supply. Most plants are capable of photosynthesis, some bacteria use natural sources of chemical energy. Many other organisms require different types of energy to grow. Beyond this biological need of humanity, technologically advanced societies are increasingly dependent on external energy for the production of many manufactured goods. Where this technological advancement is a wonderful convenience of modern life in particular, it allows people to live in diverse climatic conditions in general. Increasing levels of human comfort lead to increased reliance on external energy. Conversely, this increased dependence on external energy sources encourages the use of such energy sources, which are harmful to the environment. This is why there was the introduction of remuneration for ecosystem services (PES) for the economic management of the environment (Arocena-Francisco, 2003, p. 5-8). The objective of this article is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the remuneration system for ecosystem services (PES) for the economic management of the environment.StrengthsIn the use of the PES mechanism of eco-labeling or products certified foresters, the main strength is its demand which is growing rapidly and steadily and is fueled by concerns over illegally obtained imports. It has also demonstrated solidity in its prospective to acquire certification status at the landscape level. In the use of the PES mechanism, authoritative and deliberate biodiversity counterbalances certain accompanying strengths and weaknesses. Strengths include the fact that by applying the PES mechanism of authoritarian and deliberate biodiversity counterbalance, there is the promotion of a...... middle of paper ...... of common property, Bali, Indonesia, June 19-23, 2006.
