Roads & SDGs, tradeoffs and synergies: learning from Brazil’s Amazon in distinguishing frontiers
(2017-10-09)
To inform the search for SDG synergies in infrastructure provision, and to reduce SDG tradeoffs, the authors show that road impacts on Brazilian Amazon forests have varied significantly across settings. Forest loss varied ...
Heterogeneous Local Spillovers from Protected Areas in Costa Rica
(2017)
Spillovers can significantly reduce or enhance the net effects of land-use policies, yet there exists little rigorous evidence concerning their magnitudes. We examine how Costa Rica’s national parks affect deforestation ...
Unintended Effects of Targeting an Environmental Rebate
(Springer, Berlín (Alemania), 2015)
When designing schemes such as conditional cash transfers or payments for ecosystem services, the choice of whom to select and whom to exclude is critical.We incentivize and measure actual contributions to an environmental ...
Protected area types, strategies and impacts in Brazil’s Amazon: public protected area strategies do not yield a consistent ranking of protected area types by impact
(The Royal Society, Londres (Reino Unido), 2015)
The leading policy to conserve forest is protected areas (PAs). Yet, PAs are not a single tool: land users and uses vary by PA type; and public PA strategies vary in the extent of each type and in the determinants of impact ...
Paper park performance: Mexico’s natural protected areas in the 1990s
(Elsevier, Ámsterdam (Países Bajos), 2015-01)
Although developing countries have established scores of new protected areas over the past three decades, they often amount to little more than ‘‘paper parks’’ that are chronically short of the financial, human, and technical ...
Spillovers from Conservation Programs
(Annual Reviews, Palo Alto, California (Estados Unidos), 2017-10)
Conservation programs have increased significantly, as has the evaluation of their impacts. However, the evaluation of their potential impacts beyond program borders has been scarce. Such spillovers can significantly reduce ...
Roads & SDGs, tradeoffs and synergies: learning from Brazil’s Amazon in distinguishing frontiers
(2018)
To reduce SDG tradeoffs in infrastructure provision, and to inform searches for SDG synergies, the authors show that roads’ impacts on Brazilian Amazon forests varied significantly across fron-tiers. Impacts varied predictably ...
