Payment for Environmental Services (PES) is an effort and commitment of the world community in tackling the symptoms of global warming and damage to the ozone layer that will affect global climate change. Using field research methods, research data is collected through in-depth interviews with stakeholders in environmental services return programs in this research area. Research data is analyzed and described qualitatively for further conclusions. The concept developed upstream and downstream watershed relationships through the PES mechanism is based on the principle of voluntary agreement and awareness of maintaining the watershed ecosystem. The experience of implementing the PES Program in the Cidanau Watershed of Banten Province of Indonesia, managed by an independent institution. The PES program, in addition to its role as an environmental conservation program in the Cidanau watershed, also has socio-economical benefits for the community, environmental service (ES) users, and providers.
