2. Producer Compliance to
Standards Audited
3. Chain of Custody Certified
5. Consumers Purchase Product Offering ES
4. Ecolabel Attached to Marketed Product
Eco-certification: How does it work?
(van Noordwijk 1997)

Jungle rubber production has opportunity costs
(Budidarsono undated)

Improving on the promises
Shorten the biodiversity value chain with contracts
Contracts should:Guaranteed price premiums
Base payments on eco system performance
Allow an accounting chain of custody

Separating the biodiversity and material value chains

Separating the biodiversity and material value chains

Pay for achievement in biodiversity conservation
Allows more pay for better habitat, not for more commodity
Using science-based and local knowledge can create acceptance and improvement feedback loop
Offers incentive for site specific research
