• REDD+ on the ground: A case book of subnational initiatives across the globe (2014, background): “Thirty-seven percent of the reduction in the Brazilian Amazon’s total deforestation between 2004 and 2006 has been attributed to the expansion of protected areas (Soares-Filho et al. 2010).”
• Strengthening protected areas for biodiversity and ecosystem services in China (2017, background): “Evidence shows that PAs not only secure biodiversity (11), but also provide ecosystem services such as mitigating climate change (12), and enhance ecosystem resilience (13).”
• 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, methodology): “Soares-Filho et al (2010), using a different sample and (unusual) empirical design, claim that strictly protected areas were more effective than sustainable use areas (and indigenous reserves were the most effective).”
• Examining protected area effectiveness in Sumatra: importance of regulations governing unprotected lands (2012, background): “To estimate the protection impact of forested protected areas, researchers have typically contrasted deforestation rates inside and outside protected area boundaries (DeFries et al. 2005; Nagendra 2008; Soares-Filho et al. 2010).”
