[[Environmental service payment]]s and '''non-timber forest product'''s are being used in [[Phillipines]], [[Costa Rica]] and to some degree in [[Indonesia]] to prevent [[deforestation]]. 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 '''non-timber''' 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.
