The income allocation of Payments for Ecosystem Services(PES)usually refers to the cash payment or material rewards for the ecological protectors to subsidize their behaviors of adding service values in ecosystem.At present,the method of PES income allocation has been extensively studied.However,the period of implementation of PES projects is long,the operation and management cost is high,and the results of protection hardly represent the PES investment.As a convenient means of payment,the mobile payment can effectively solve the problem of imbalanced distribution of PES income at the key stage of PES implementation.Mobile payments can be combined with microfinance,micro-insurance and other regional/watershed poverty alleviation activities to achieve diversified payments.For Cambodia,China,Tanzania and the Philippines,where mobile capital conversion rate is high,mobile payments can be used to accumulate social funds to deal with the emergencies during the process of ecological protection.The allocation of income combined with mobile payments can reduce the transaction costs and meet high frequency trading needs of funds in protection activities.The income allocation method of PES based on mobile payment is useful to improve payment privacy,allocation transparency rate and safety.As a result,it is an effective and fair way to realize regional/basin PES income allocation.
