چکیده
South America's Tri-national Paraná Atlantic Forest, an ecological region spanning across the nations of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, is one most diverse in world but also vulnerable to deforestation. A review public policy interventions shows all three governments have taken major legislative steps protect remaining forests, studies evaluating deforestation trends associated factors this are scarce or non-existent. Here, we make a direct contribution knowledge gap by assessing within forests Argentina's Misiones, Brazil's Paraná, Paraguay's Alto between 2000 2020. Over period about 20% forest cover was lost 13% 18% Paraná. The odds observed deforestation, else constant, showed nuanced associations with proximity nearest roads, cities, ports. Higher levels economic growth were directly as increases population density over entire period. Protected area designation years 2020 effectiveness lowering heterogeneous countries. Our results reflect associational inferences estimated deforestation; future research should investigate causal effects protected designation, assess its role avoided degradation wider socio-economic impacts.
