In this paper we prove that the cone of effective divisors on the Kontsevich moduli spaces of stable maps, ${{\overline{M}}_{0,0}}\left( {{\mathbb{P}}^{r}},\,d \right)$ , stabilize when $r\,\ge \,d$. We give a complete characterization of the effective divisors on ${{\overline{M}}_{0,0}}\left( {{\mathbb{P}}^{d}},\,d \right)$ . They are non-negative linear combinations of boundary divisors and the divisor of maps with degenerate image.
