<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Environmental service payment]]s and &#039;&#039;&#039;non-timber forest product&#039;&#039;&#039;s are being used in [[Phillipines]], [[Costa Rica]] and to some degree in [[Indonesia]] to prevent [[deforestation]].<br /> <br /> They are considered particularly essential in Indonesia, where only a few villages are refusing to sell forests, while most, like Pelenchao (sic?), have sold large areas of [[old-growth forest]]. While YaYa Lang, their village chief, claims the villagers have suffered worse [[water quality]] due to [[erosion]], and seeks to protect tracts of [[sago]], [[rattan]], [[aloe]] wood for harvesting on a sustainable basis, there is no long term plan in place, and the cash payments distributed to villagers by logging companies are very popular. Without assistance for &#039;&#039;&#039;non-timber&#039;&#039;&#039; product market development, under such programs as [[Ten Thousand Villages]] and other [[fair trade]] groups, it seems unlikely that any substantial forest areas can be saved.</div>
