Estimating the Impacts of Bolivia's Protected Areas on Poverty (2012, background): “Such facts raise concerns from poverty advocates that achieving environmental goals may come at the expense of the populations impacted by protection (Adams et al., 2004; Coad et al., 2008).”
A global assessment of the social and conservation outcomes of protected areas (2016, positive): “Opponents of this approach consider such exclusionist protection arrangements ethically troubling because they frequently result in PAs having disadvanta-geous social outcomes for local people that ultimately result in ineffective long-term conservation outcomes (Adams et al. 2004).”
Mapping Species Distributions with MAXENT Using a Geographically Biased Sample of Presence Data: A Performance Assessment of Methods for Correcting Sampling Bias (2014, background): “Regarding the major impacts that conservation actions are expected to provide [86,87], they must be based as much as possible on irrefutable models.”
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests (2016, background): “Amid the struggle to combat biodiversity loss, the relationship between biological conservation and poverty is gaining increasing global attention (13, 44), especially with respect to rural areas where livelihoods depend most directly on ecosystemproducts.”
A global-level assessment of the effectiveness of protected areas at resisting anthropogenic pressures (2019, background): “Third, while ensuring the livelihood of local communities in and around PAs is increasingly integrated into PA objectives, protection can lead to loss of economic opportunities resulting in illegal use of resources from within the PA (29).”
Payments for environmental services: some nuts and bolts (2005, background): “Moreover, there are fundamental doubts about the extent to which it makes sense to forcibly link the conservation and poverty-alleviation agendas when the trade-offs outweigh the synergies (Adams et al. 2004; Wunder 2001).”
Integrating development with conservation: A means to a conservation end, or a mean end to conservation? (2011, background): “Unfortunately, although these win–win strategies are easy to formulate in theory, they have proven to be much more difficult to implement in practice (Adams et al. 2004; McShane and Wells 2004).”
Tree Diversity in Western Kenya: Using Profiles to Characterise Richness and Evenness (2006, background): “Diversification could therefore result in improved conservation, although the links between development and conservation goals need to be explored carefully (Adams et al. 2004).”
Freshwater biodiversity: importance, threats, status and conservation challenges (2006, background): “…with biodiversity conservation might arise from different starting points and prioritisation of goals ; if so, such differences must be recognised but they need not imply that attempts to combine the goals of conservation and meeting human needs should be regarded as futile (Adams et al., 2004).”
Incentives for Hunting: The Role of Bushmeat in the Household Economy in Rural Equatorial Guinea (2010, background): “The search for policy solutions to this problem has emphasised the complex linkages between bushmeat hunting and wider issues of poor governance, inadequate land tenure, poverty and lack of livelihood alternatives (Adams et al. 2004; Bennett et al. 2007; DfID 2002; Nasi et al. 2008).”
Protecting Ecosystems and Alleviating Poverty with Parks and Reserves: ‘Win-Win’ or Tradeoffs? (2011, background): “[3]”
