The use of contingent valuation for evaluating protected areas in the developing world: Economic valuation of Morro do Diabo State Park, Atlantic Rainforest, São Paulo State (Brazil) (2008, background): “The few examples of protected areas valuation in Brazil (Camphora and May, 2006), including those in the Atlantic Rainforest area, are listed in Table 1.”
The role of protected areas in conserving biodiversity and sustaining local livelihoods (2005, background): “’s 2001 (66) conclusions based on surveys with managers of 93 parks in developing countries.”
Conservation and Development: Evidence from Thai Protected Areas (2010, positive): “Several other studies that do not employ econometric comparisons also conclude that protected areas are moderately environmentally effective (see [40] [41] [42] [43]).”
Polycentric Systems as One Approach for Solving Collective-Action Problems (2008, background): “While many agree that rule enforcement is necessary to create a sustainable resource over time, considerable disagreement exists about who should monitor (see Bruner et al. 2001; Wells and Brandon 1992).”
Payments for biodiversity conservation in the context of weak institutions:Comparison of three programs from Cambodia? (2010, neutral): “PAs usually contain existing human settlements with unclear property rights, as is often observed in other countries (Bruner et al., 2001).”
Explaining the global pattern of protected area coverage: relative importance of vertebrate biodiversity, human activities and agricultural suitability (2008, background): “The frequency with which existing protected areas are of exceptional value and serve to protect biodiversity (Bruner et al., 2001) is somewhat surprising when many were not established to protect the biodiversity targets used to evaluate them.”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Do we need new management paradigms to achieve sustainability in tropical forests? Tropical Deforestation, Community Forests, and Protected Areas in the Maya Forest (2008, positive): “The protected-area hypothesis, which posits that strict protected areas (PAs) are the most effective barrier against deforestation, must also be regarded as a testable proposition, with contradictory evidence reported to date (Bruner et al. 2001, Curran et al. 2004).”
Information needs for assessing critical habitat of freshwater fish (2006, background): “Preservation usually involves creating some form of protected area (with varying levels of effective protection; see Jamieson and Levings 2001; Bruner et al. 2001), while regulation is used for routine management of activities outside of protected areas.”
