Descripción: Traditional agricultural and livestock practices have been present for decades in the Romeral area of the Sumapaz Paramo in Colombia. To promote conservation of the Paramo and its ecosystem services, the government proposes policy instruments such as Payments for Environmental Services (PES). Farmers as prospective providers of PES have to decide whether or not to accept such payments. The purpose of this study is to evaluate which factors influence farmers' willingness to accept (WTA) PES. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the field. Data from the interviews were tabulated and analysed with a WTA model. Significant variables were analysed using logistic regression in a stepwise function using R Studio software. The results suggested that attitudinal factors were predominant and that perception towards PES was not favourable. Further discussions are needed to address the negative views towards PES among the community members in the Romeral area. This suggests that there are several issues needing improvement before PES programs can be successfully implemented in the paramo. Hopeful is that the inhabitants in the area tend to favour environment preservation of the paramo for future generations.
