We compared numbers of terrestrial species at risk included in existing reserves to randomly generated networks with the same total area and numb...
متن کاملConservation and development Evidence from Thai protected areas
Protected areas are a key tool for conservation policy but their economic impacts are not well understood. This paper presents new evidence about the local effects of strictly protected areas in Thailand, combining data on socioeconomic outcomes from a poverty mapping study with satellite-based estimates of forest cover. The selective placement of protected areas is addressed by controlling for...
