LandsCare is a smart-phone guide and a website on rural territories that use a system of payment for environmental services (PES) that tries to contribute to preserve and to valorise the natural and cultural local landscape. It develops a series of instruments to try to facilitate the interrelation of all the agents of a rural territory, including visitors pursuing a common objective, taking care of the common landscape and obtaining added value from it. LandsCare aspires to be the first global system of conservation and PES operating through smart-phones and based on the beauty of the landscape. LandsCare software is currently used by different NGOs and public administrations from different countries and regions. The present article describes the LandsCare system of rural development and payment for environmental services. It explains its components with the aim of becoming a global instrument facilitating countries' rural development and ecotourism.
