2. Project context This Research OpenNESS-Cana goals… Related to the social ones Food security Steakholders – land relationship In Terms of a PES scheme

3. SUPPORT PROVISION Food REGULATION Pollination CULTUTAL ECOSYSTEM SERVICES Introduction

5. Fruit and seed production decreased! 90’s Several bee species desapearence of cropped areas Pollination Crisis Introduction Allen-Wardell et al. 1998

6. Westphal et al. (2003) Introduction

7. Westphal et al. (2003) Introduction

8. More studies are still need to better understand the bees response to all those changes However, the decline evidences are more than enough to implement conservation public politics for this group.  URGENTS!!! MAS… LAW= Brazilian Forest Code PES Introduction

9. * Aims: To provide an economic value to the bees pollination services in the region of Rio Claro Municipality – SP. To demonstrate, through a pollination potention model, how the PES scheme implementation can contribute with the food security in the studied region. Aims

10. * Métodos: Studied area; Bee assessment; Economic valuation of pollinator ES; Pollination Potential  ESTIMAP Methods

11. Studied area: Methods

12. Bee assessment; Crop 20min Methods Off crop 20min 5m Remnant 20min 5m

13. Economic valuation of Bee pollination services; W= Economic Value (R$); S= planted area (ha); Δq= productivity increase due to the pollination (Kg); p= cultivation exit price (R$/ha); c= harvest costs (R$/ha) W=S.∆q.(p-c) Estimap: Potential of Pollination  bee species, flight range, weather, potential nest sites. Methods What crops? Why? Hein (2009)
