Managing the Miombo Woodlands of Southern Africa: Policies, Incentives and Options for the Rural Poor (2010, positive): “These studies strongly indicate that woodlands have a role to play as natural insurance (e.g. see Pattanayak and Sills 2001; Takasaki et al. 2004; McSweeney 2002, for insurance values of forests).”
Safety Nets, Gap Filling and Forests: A Global-Comparative Perspective (2014, background): “…Sserunkuuma, 2011), Asia (Gunatilake, Senaratine, & Abeygunawardena, 1993; Liswanti, Sheil, Basuki, Padmanaba, & Mulcahy, 2011; Völker & Waibel, 2010), and Latin America (Godoy et al., 1998; Hecht, Anderson, & May, 1988; McSweeney, 2004; Pattanayak & Sills, 2001; Takasaki, Barham, & Coomes, 2004).”
Poverty, development, and environment (2010, background): “This link between asset poverty, lack of income opportunities and resource extraction as insurance may also be very significant in many tropical forest regions, where the livelihoods of the poor often depend on the extraction of biological resources in fragile environments (Pattanayak and Sills, 200”
The Role of Forest-Related Income in Household Economies and Rural Livelihoods in the Border-Region of Southern China (2013, result): “…forest products play a role in filling seasonal income gaps and as safety nets in times of crises (Byron & Arnold, 1999; Fisher & Shively, 2005; McSweeney, 2004; Pattanayak & Sills, 2001; Paumgarten, 2005; Shackleton et al., 2007; Sunderlin et al., 2005), however neither was the case in this study.”
Forests, Livelihoods, and Conservation: Broadening the Empirical Base (2014, background): “…into (deeper) poverty, not only as safety nets in response to (unforeseen) shocks such as bad harvests, family illness, etc. (e.g., McSweeney, 2004; Pattanayak & Sills, 2001), but also as seasonal gap-fillers during (foreseeable) income slack periods, such as between agricultural harvests (e.g.,…”
Achieving the national development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through investment in ecological infrastructure: A case study of South Africa (2017, background): “They are also important in most developing countries, such as Cameroon (Ambrose-Oji, 2003), Vietnam (Quang and Anh, 2006) and Brazil (Pattanayak and Sills, 2001) as well as many developed countries such as wild berry and mushroom use and sale in Finland (Richards and Saastamoinen, 2010; Laird et al.”
Why Forests Are Important for Global Poverty Alleviation: a Spatial Explanation (2008, methodology): “Some of the data sets were assembled by national institutions (Badan Pusat Statistik 2000, Robles 2003; Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada national poverty data for the year 2000: http://ipeadata.gov.br/), and others were created by national government institutions collaborating with…”
