Deforestation Spillovers from Costa Rican Protected Areas
Resumen Spillovers can significantly reduce or enhance the effects of land-use policies, yet there exists little rigorous evidence concerning their magnitudes. We examine how national parks within Costa Rica affect the clearing of forest nearby. We find that average deforestation spillover impacts are not significant within 0-5km and 5-10km rings around parks. However, we argue that this averag...
متن کاملCan carbon emissions from tropical deforestation drop by 50% in 5 years?
Halving carbon emissions from tropical deforestation by 2020 could help bring the international community closer to the agreed goal of <2 degree increase in global average temperature change and is consistent with a target set last year by the governments, corporations, indigenous peoples' organizations and non-governmental organizations that signed the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF). W...

متن کاملCarbon emissions from tropical deforestation and regrowth based on satellite observations for the 1980s and 1990s.
Carbon fluxes from tropical deforestation and regrowth are highly uncertain components of the contemporary carbon budget, due in part to the lack of spatially explicit and consistent information on changes in forest area. We estimate fluxes for the 1980s and 1990s using subpixel estimates of percent tree cover derived from coarse (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very ...
متن کاملReducing uncertainties on carbon emissions from tropical deforestation: Brazil Amazon study case
In the last year, Brazil announced the voluntary commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions from 36.1% to 38.9% by 2020 and, to this end, such a commitment requires cutting down 80% of the deforestation in the Amazon rainforest until that year. Much of the uncertainty on the role of forests for carbon emissions is due to the lack of reliable deforestation data. The Brazilian’s National I...
