Fostering forest restoration
W De JongARTICLEThe International Forestry Review2025
Dissecting forest transition
Open AccessJohan De Jong, Lourens Poorter et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2025References: 117
Forest Transition (FT) is a theoretical framework for understanding tree cover changes but often overlooks differences within countries, across forest types (e.g., second-growth forests, tree plantations replacing natural forests), regions, and climates. We quantified tropical tree cover dynamics across eight regions in four tropical countries, examining how these patterns relate to FT and how they vary between climates and forest types. Each cou…
Socio-Economic and Ecological Factors Influencing Rulemaking for Community-Based Forest Management
Open AccessMarieke Van Der Zon, Johan De Jong et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of the…2025Cited by: 1References: 6
There is broad consensus that policymakers must work with indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to protect biodiversity and carbon stocks in the remaining tropical forests. However, the success of community forest management initiatives around the world has been mixed. Collaboration between policymakers and IPLCs requires a nuanced understanding of the socio-economic and cultural realities, motivations, and long-term conservation needs…
Cedars of the North Mountains
W De Jong, Andrea Flores Urushima et al.ARTICLEThe International Forestry Review2022
The region north of Kyoto is referred to as Kitayama, which literally translates as North Mountains. The region is the location of Cryptomeria japonica , Japanese cedar or sugi , production in Japan. Cedar logs grown there are used as pillars in the construction of buildings in a typical Japanese minimalist style, but also traditional rooms included in modern houses. Cedar was planted widely in Japan following World War II not only to rebuild the…
Recognizing Indigenous and Traditional Peoples and their identity, culture, rights, and governance of forestlands
Open AccessStephen Wyatt, Janette Bulkan et al.ARTICLEThe International Forestry Review2022
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the diversity of international research on the multiple ways in which Indigenous and Traditional peoples (ITP) are engaged in occupying and governing forest landscapes, consistent with their rights, values, knowledge and customs. This Introduction begins by reviewing our evolving understanding of two key questions: what rights are held by ITP; and how "Indigenous" and "Traditional" are actually de…

Thriving in turbulent times
Open AccessTina N Bauer, Tina Bauer et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2022Cited by: 2References: 59
Climate change affects ecosystems and the well-being of rural households relying on ecosystem services for their livelihoods. The ability to withstand the adverse effects of climate change depends on their livelihood resilience. The relationship between natural resource dependence and livelihood resilience of Indigenous forest households in the Amazon region is still poorly understood. We used a case study approach to identify factors contributin…

Forest frontiers out of control
Open AccessBenno Pokorny, Pablo Pacheco et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2021Cited by: 2References: 113
With the Brazilian military governments of the 1960s, systematic economic development of the Amazon began. Social and environmental concerns have entered Amazonian discourses and policies only since the 1990s. Since then, reports of threats to forests and indigenous people have alternated with reports of socio-economic progress and environmental achievements. These contradictions often arise from limited thematic, sectoral, temporal, or spatial p…

Frontiers of protected areas versus forest exploitation
Open AccessPer Angelstam, Andra-Cosmina Albulescu et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2021Cited by: 3References: 77
Exploitation of natural forests forms expanding frontiers. Simultaneously, protected area frontiers aim at maintaining functional habitat networks. To assess net effects of these frontiers, we examined 16 case study areas on five continents. We (1) mapped protected area instruments, (2) assessed their effectiveness, (3) mapped policy implementation tools, and (4) effects on protected areas originating from their surroundings. Results are given as…

The Legitimacy of Certification Standards in Climate Change Governance
Open AccessCoraina de la Plaza Esteban, I J Visseren-Hamakers et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2014Cited by: 8References: 14
This article explores the role of two private steering mechanisms, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA), in REDD+, the climate change mitigation policy that aims to avoid deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries. It does so by analyzing input and output legitimacy of the two certification standards at the global level, and at national and local levels in Peru. The fin…
