Economic Causes of Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon: A Panel Data Analysis for the 2000s (2013, positive): “ 2 See on the success of protected areas in forest conservation Fearnside (2003) and Nepstad et al. (2006). activities of the environmental police (IBAMA, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) fighting illegal deforestation.”
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]).”
Rights to Land, Forests and Carbon in REDD+: Insights from Mexico, Brazil and Costa Rica (2011, background): “Although depending on institutional conditions and self-governance capacity, rural communities have proved to be effective forest stewards, engaging in community forest management and payment for environmental services related-projects, among others [41,74,113].”
The Intersections of Biological Diversity and Cultural Diversity: Towards Integration (2009, background): “…outcomes, or that poor management does not occur, but the worldviews of many pre- and non-industrialised societies have contributed to the development of practices and skills that sustainably manage ecological integrity (Redford 1992; Diamond 2005; Nepstad et al. 2006; Turner & Berkes 2006).”
Effectiveness of terrestrial protected areas in reducing habitat loss and population declines (2013, background): “, 2008; Ellis and Porter-Bolland, 2008) and five found them to perform worse (Armenteras et al., 2006; Bleher et al., 2006; Gaveau et al., 2007; Nelson et al., 2001; Nepstad et al., 2006).”
Role of Brazilian Amazon protected areas in climate change mitigation (2010, background): “Conclusions from these studies regarding the inhibitory effect of PAs on deforestation also vary, from a positive effect (9, 10, 15) that, however, is not seen in all PA groups (11) or a positive but modest effect (12, 13, 16, 17) to no effect (14).”
Mauritia flexuosa palm swamp communities: natural or human-made? A palynological study of the Gran Sabana region (northern South America) within a neotropical context (2014, background): “The GS region is under several protection figures including national parks, natural monuments, biosphere reserves and world heritage sites (Huber, 1995d) but, as it occurs in other neotropical areas (e.g. Nepstad et al., 2006), this has not inhibited fire practices.”
Interactions among Amazon land use, forests and climate: prospects for a near-term forest tipping point (2008, background): “As a result, much of the recent surge in global cropland area expansion is taking place in the Brazilian Cerrado and Amazon regions (Brown 2004; Shean 2004; Nepstad et al. 2006a).”
Do community-conserved areas effectively conserve biological diversity? Global insights and the Indian context. (2010, background): “In Brazil, indigenous lands that successfully inhibited deforestation within the active agricultural frontier were often inhabited by tribes who actively enforced legal restrictions on natural resource exploitation by outsiders (Nepstad et al., 2006).”
Direct conservation payments in the Brazilian Amazon: Scope and equity implications (2010, background): “Again, this reflects that most deforestation in public tenure categories is caused by external actors (Ferreira et al., 2005; Nepstad et al., 2006): the indigenous dweller would thus be paid for the opportunity cost of the squatter who was projected to illegally invade indigenous land.”
