Although REDD+ is approaching its 10th anniversary, major impacts in terms of reduced forest loss are hard to document. Conservation practitioners and scholars are therefore increasingly asking why REDD+ has not delivered more tangible results. A recent Comment in Conservation Biology by Fletcher...

Learning from REDD+: a response to Fletcher et al.
Durante las dos últimas décadas, varios proyectos de carbono enfocados en la aforestación y reforestación (A/R) han sido implementados en América Latina, y en otros países en desarrollo, sobre todo a pequeña escala. Aunque siendo elegibles para ser financiados por el Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpi...

Payments for environmental services (PES) have attracted increasing interest as amechanism to translate external, non-market values of the environment into real financial incentives for local actors to provide environmental services (ES). In this introductory paper, we set the stage for the rest ...

This study analyzes how long-run macroeconomic fluctuations have affected timber production levels in five tropical oil-producing countries: Gabon, Cameroon, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Venezuela, and Ecuador. The core hypothesis is that oil booms, foreign borrowing and other major foreign exchange i...

This paper explores the "state of the art" of the two-way causal links between poverty alleviation and natural tropical forests. Microimpacts of rising poverty can increase or slow forest loss. At the macrolevel, poverty also has an ambiguous effect, but it is probable that higher income stimulat...

Spatial targeting of payments for environmental services: a tool for boosting conservation benefits
Payments for environmental services (PES) represent a new, more direct way to promote conservation. They explicitly recognize the need to address difficult trade-offs by bridging the interests of landowners and external actors through compensations. Theoretical assessments praise the advantages o...
