  abstract = {{T}he implementation of payment for environmental services ({PES}) schemes in public protected areas raises several questions in economic, social, and environmental domains. {I}n this paper, we  analyze  the  case  of  {B}razil's  {B}olsa  {F}loresta  {P}rogram  ({BFP}),  established  in  the  {P}rotected {A}reas of the state of {A}mazonas and considered one of the largest programs in the world in terms of area of coverage. {F}irst, we verify whether the program meets the requirements of a typical {PES}: conditionality, additionality, and voluntariness. {S}econdly, we seek to evaluate the two key requirements for a {PES} to perform well: economic effectiveness and ecological sustainability. {S}tudying the case of the {U}atumã {S}ustainable {D}evelopment 
{R}eserve ({U}atumã {SDR}), we determine that the payments made do not cover the provider -receivers' opportunity costs, which results in non-delivery of the contracted environmental services. {T}he total area of secondary forest ({SF}) available to be incorporated into successive crop cycles might not be large enough to allow fallow periods of a long enough duration for soil fertility to recover fully. {T}he intensification of agricultural activities in {SF} areas may lead to a degradation of the traditional agricultural system and a consequent loss of the ecosystem services that this system can potentially provide. {I}n sum, these negative impacts indicate that, at least in the {U}atumã {SDR}, the {BFP} might not be effective in the medium 
to long term.},
