Previous studies suggest that t...

Measuring the effectiveness of these areas is difficult because the amount of deforestation that would have occurred in the absence of legal protection cannot be directly observed. Conventional methods of evaluating the effectiveness of protected areas can be biased because protection is not ra...
متن کاملAnalysis of deforestation and protected area effectiveness in Indonesia: A comparison of Bayesian spatial models
Tropical deforestation in Southeast Asia is one of the leading causes of carbon emissions and reductions of biodiversity. Spatially explicit analyses of the dynamics of deforestation in Indonesia are needed to support sustainable land use planning but the value of such analyses has so far been limited by data availability and geographical scope. We use remote sensing maps of land use change fro...
متن کاملProjecting land-use change and its consequences for biodiversity in northern Thailand.
