Protecting Ecosystems and Alleviating Poverty with Parks and Reserves: ‘Win-Win’ or Tradeoffs? (2011, background): “Empirical studies have found that protected areas, on average, are effective in reducing deforestation, although not as much as advocates may have expected (e.g., Cropper et al. 2001; Andam et al. 2008; Pfaff et al. 2009; Sims 2010).”
Evaluation of biodiversity policy instruments: what works and what doesn't? (2012, background): “, 2009; Sims, 2010; Joppa and Pfaff, 2010; Ferraro and Hanauer, 2011), had mostly negligible spillover effects (Andam et al., 2008; Sims, 2010), and reduced the incidence of forest fires (Nelson and Chomitz, 2011).”
Human well-being impacts of terrestrial protected areas (2012, background): “All four studies found significant beneficial impacts of protected areas on poverty alleviation in Costa Rica [67], Thailand [66,67] and Bolivia [68].”
Estimating the Impacts of Bolivia's Protected Areas on Poverty (2012, methodology): “However, unlike previous studies (Andam et al., 2010; Sims, 2010) our results indicate that naı̈ve (uncontrolled) comparisons of protected and unprotected communities lead to an overestimation of the poverty alleviation associated with the establishment of protected areas.”
Effects of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) on Deforestation and Poverty in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Systematic Review (2014, background): “Relevant references for such research are studies by Robalino and Villalobos-Fiatt (2010) and Sims (2010) on the effects of conservation parks and protected areas on welfare outcomes.”
Deforestation slowdown in the Brazilian Amazon: prices or policies? (2015, background): “See Andam et al. (2008); Pfaff et al., 2009, 2014; Sims (2010); Soares-Filho et al. (2010); Joppa and Pfaff (2011); Nelson and Chomitz (2011); Ferraro et al. (2013); Nolte et al. (2013).”
More strictly protected areas are not necessarily more protective: evidence from Bolivia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, and Thailand (2013, background): “For example, according to one report (ICEM 2003), more than 500 000 people may have been living inside wildlife sanctuaries and national parks in Thailand, contrary to the regulations for these reserves.”
Effects of Protected Areas on Forest Cover Change and Local Communities (2014, background): “Since protected areas tend to be located far from cities (Canavire and Hanauer 2013; Andam et al. 2010; Sims 2010), we also control for Euclidian (linear) distance to major cities and to cities”
