The Federal Program for Payment for Environmental Services was created in January of this year with the objective of putting into effect the national policy for the environmental sector regarding the payment of these services by the Union, in maintenance, recovery or improvement of vegetation cover in priority areas for conservation, combating habitat fragmentation, creating biodiversity corridors and conserving water resources.
In addition to the net income, the prizes not withdrawn by the winners, according to the bill, will be allocated to the National Environmental Fund.
