In this episode of Voices of the Impact Economy, we are discussing about, what Forest First Samithi (FFS) is doing in Wayanad, Kerala, using Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) to restore degraded forests while creating sustainable livelihoods. By removing invasive species, planting native trees, and empowering indigenous communities, they’re proving that conservation and economic growth can go hand in hand. 

The dialogue series - Voices of the Impact Economy, designed by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, India, Ashish Mehta of Second Nature Sustainable Solutions (SNSS) and Mugdha Kalra expands on the foundational work done by FES and SNSS on Impact Investment Ecosystem for Transformative Change Making (https://lnkd.in/gZT8GweS) and Payments for Ecosystem Services (https://lnkd.in/gGkAAEeC) as approaches towards addressing social-ecological transformation.
