Quantifying changes in the rates of forest clearing in Indonesia from 1990 to 2005 using remotely sensed data sets (2009, background): “While the forests of Indonesia are a source of economic development, the deleterious effects of poorly regulated clearing are well documented, and include the ecological collapse of the forest ecosystem and attendant disruption of rural livelihoods (Curran et al 2004).”
Retention Forestry to Maintain Multifunctional Forests: A World Perspective (2012, background): “On the negative side, there is no guarantee that the retained structures will be preserved over the long term, contrary to those in government-established reserves (although such areas may also become degraded; e.g., Curran et al. 2004).”
Biodiversity and Conservation of Tropical Peat Swamp Forests (2011, background): “…even the declaration of an area as a national park does not guarantee long-term conservation, as significant forest clearance, logging, and hunting occur within park boundaries in many parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia (Curran et al. 2004, Corlett 2009, Gaveau et al. 2009).”
Forest Resources Assessment of 2015 shows positive global trends but forest loss and degradation persist in poor tropical countries (2015, background): “In Borneo the designation of natural production forest has historically prevented forest conversion as effectively as protected forests (Curran et al., 2004; Gaveau et al., 2013).”
The state and conservation of Southeast Asian biodiversity (2010, background): “Furthermore, many of the region’s protected forests are also being degraded and destroyed by illegal logging activities (Curran et al. 2004; DeFries et al. 2005; Bickford et al. 2008b).”
Examining protected area effectiveness in Sumatra: importance of regulations governing unprotected lands (2012, background): “…persists within protected areas when strong socioeconomic drivers of deforestation are coupled with insufficient management resources (van Schaik et al. 1997; Brandon et al. 1998; Curran et al. 2004; Naughton-Treves et al. 2006; Gaveau et al. 2009b; Leverington et al. 2010; Verissimo et al. 2011).”
Role of Brazilian Amazon protected areas in climate change mitigation (2010, background): “Conclusions from these studies regarding the inhibitory effect of PAs on deforestation also vary, from a positive effect (9, 10, 15) that, however, is not seen in all PA groups (11) or a positive but modest effect (12, 13, 16, 17) to no effect (14).”
