The SylvaMED project aimed at improving the policy frameworks in view of combining forest management in private and public lands with the provision of relevant environmental services to society. The project constituted an attempt to respond to the challenge of the supply and financing of environmental services, considering their costs and benefits. Partners will work towards the testing of public-private schemes where users of forest goods and services will be engaged with the providers (public administrations or forest owners) of such services in order to ensure their sustainable provision. EFIMED had a transversal role providing the state of the art expertise on PES and on the water and forests relation; and disseminating the activities and results of the project at international level, aiming at improving the communication among Mediterranean forest stakeholders.
