Quantifying causal mechanisms to determine how protected areas affect poverty through changes in ecosystem services and infrastructure.
To develop effective environmental policies, we must understand the mechanisms through which the policies affect social and environmental outcomes. Unfortunately, empirical evidence about these mechanisms is limited, and little guidance for quantifying them exists. We develop an approach to quantifying the mechanisms through which protected areas affect poverty. We focus on three mechanisms: ch...
متن کاملIt ’ S Complicated : Direct Vs . Incentive - Based Land Conservation in Mexico
Protected areas (PAs) and payments for ecosystem services (PES) are key global land conservation policies, yet there are few empirical comparisons of their impacts. We study how PAs and PES affected forest conservation, poverty reduction and population change at the locality level in Mexico in the past decade. We find that both generated an approximately 20% reduction in expected forest cover l...

Food security in developing countries depends in part on the sustainable use of natural resources. Food security is usually examined through three dimensions, namely the availability, access, and utilization of food. Ecosystems directly and indirectly support each of these dimensions through the provision of critical ecosystem services that facilitate agricultural production, create income-gene...

متن کاملCould Payments for Ecosystem Services Create an "Ecosystem Service Curse"?

Given current trends, the scale of payments is likely to grow, creating new circumstances within which ecosystem services will be managed. In this dyna...
