Governing and Delivering a Biome-Wide Restoration Initiative: The Case of Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact in Brazil (2014, neutral): “However, in spite of some environmental setbacks, six million hectares still should be restored or offset by tradable environmental certificates or protected area purchase in the coming years in the Atlantic Forest region in order to comply with the statements of this version of the Code [20].”
