Effects of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) on Deforestation and Poverty in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Systematic Review (2014, background): “…about the effectiveness of such programs for forest protection; this may reflect how the implicit theories used to design PES programs have failed to account for local structural and institutional context (Angelsen, 2010; Ferraro et al., 2012; Gibson et al., 2000; Tacconi, 2007; Wunder, 2005).”
Property Rights Regimes and Natural Resources: A Conceptual Analysis Revisited (2017, unknown): “While villagers hold use rights, they do not participate in the exercise of control or authoritative rights, as has been noted in much research over the past 15 years (Ribot, 2004; Ribot, Agrawal, & Larson, 2006; Tacconi, 2007).”
Participatory Forest Management in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania: Who Benefits? (2009, background): “These are not unique to Tanzania, but are indicative of the seeming contradiction between the stated desire for decentralised forest management on the one hand, and poor governance by central government on the other, that is common in many tropical countries (Tacconi 2007).”

(2013, background): “Evidence also suggests that where carried out, the purported livelihood and sustainability benefits may not always accrue given the multiplicity of contextual factors that influence the natural resource management decision calculus (Blomley, Ramadhani, Mkwizu, & Böhringer, 2010; Tacconi, 2007).”
Sustainable palm oil as a public responsibility? On the governance capacity of Indonesian Standard for Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) (2018, background): “Patron-client relationships (see Kolstad and Søreide 2009; Varkkey 2013) and economic considerations may further demotivate local governments to execute punishments (Ascher 2000; Tacconi 2007) as this may harm support for their election programs or reduce income from taxes.”
