Theme: Economics of conservation and sustainable use

ICMS Ecológico

The purpose of this project, which will run from 2003 – 2006, is to monitor the biodiversity and socio-economic impact of the ICMS Ecológico in Brazil. The ICMS Ecológico is a fiscal incentive for biodiversity conservation whereby municipal governments are compensated for the restrictions on land use from the designation of protected areas. The project aims to develop and test pilot monitoring systems in two states of Brazil (most probably Mato Grosso and Pernambuco). It builds on an earlier review of the ICMS Ecológico which examines the effectiveness of the scheme and provides recommendations for improvement.
