  • Quem Semeia Cocriação de Personas Ligadas ao VIH e Sida Colhe Literacia em Saúde

    Open AccessCristina Vieira De Almeida, Ana Correia et al.ARTICLEComunicação e Sociedade2025References: 46

    A problemática do vírus da imunodeficiência humana (VIH) e síndrome de imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA) está geralmente confinada a uma perspetiva biomédica. São poucos os casos de investigação sobre a participação das entidades com peso na intervenção comunitária, como as associações de cariz comunitário que apoiam pessoas que vivem com VIH e SIDA. O estudo apresentado foca-se no projeto português VIHVER, que investiu na criação de parcerias en…

  • Mapping global forest regeneration–an untapped potential to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss

    Open AccessPui‐Yu Ling, Naikoa Aguilar‐Amuchastegui et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Forest regeneration can be a low-cost solution to mitigate climate change, and mapping its extent can support global goals such as the Bonn Challenge, which set a goal to put 350 million hectares of degraded forests and landscapes into restoration by 2030. Our study combined multiple remote sensing datasets and expert surveys, identifying 55.7 ± 6.2 million hectares of likely regenerated forests between 2000 and 2015 across areas that were not fo…

  • 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…

  • Reconciling oil palm economic development and environmental conservation in Indonesia

    Open AccessHerry Purnomo, Beni Okarda et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2020Cited by: 4References: 5

    Palm oil makes a significant contribution to the economies of Indonesia and Malaysia through private corporations, state-owned companies and smallholders, with the two countries supplying 85% of the global palm oil. Indonesia has 14 million hectares (ha) of oil palm; its palm oil exports were valued at USD 23 billion in 2017 and USD 21 billion in 2018. Both domestic and international communities, particularly the European Union (EU), have raised …

  • The challenge of reconciling conservation and development in the tropics

    Open AccessFrederico Brandão, George Schoneveld et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2020Cited by: 5References: 8

    Due to its controversies, oil palm cultivation has been targeted by regulatory innovations. Among these, transnational efforts—such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and corporate commitments to zero deforestation have been highly influential but often tend to overvalue environmental over socio-economic outcomes. This article discusses to what extent domestic governance models of palm oil producing countries can be better equipped …

  • Certification, good agricultural practice and smallholder heterogeneity

    Open AccessGeorge C Schoneveld, Selma van der Haar et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2019Cited by: 14References: 10

    Enhancing smallholder compliance with sustainability standards and good agricultural practices features prominently on the global sustainability agenda. Operating in a sector that bears intense public scrutiny, Indonesia's oil palm smallholders are especially confronted by pressures to enhance their environmental performance. Because smallholders experience differentiated compliance barriers however, it is widely recognized that for the purpose o…

  • Livelihood Dilemma of The Rural Household Around The Oil Palm Plantation in East Kalimantan

    Open AccessBayu Eka Yulian, Arya Hadi Dharmawan et al.ARTICLESodality Jurnal Sosiologi Pedesaan2018

    The expansion of oil palm plantation is a necessity in Indonesia. The global market demand pressure and the need to accelerate national economic growth have supported the occurrence of massively expansion of oil palm plantation in Indonesia. Although it contributes many benefits from the economic side, but in another side, the oil palm plantation also gives social and environmental impacts. Such impacts are, among others, such as the changes of a…

  • Reducing forest and land fires through good palm oil value chain governance

    Open AccessHerry Purnomo, Beni Okarda et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2018Cited by: 10References: 14

    United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to protect the planet and ensure prosperity. In reaching SDGs, Indonesia's palm oil industry represents a solution for the economy but a problem for environment-related goals. Palm oil is a tremendous land-based commodity that supports the subnational and national economies of Indonesia. With 11.4 million ha of plantations, palm oil has contributed USD 20.75 billion in 2015 to Indonesia's e…

  • Rapid conversions and avoided deforestation

    Open AccessDavid Gaveau, David L A Gaveau et al.ARTICLEScientific Reports2016

    New plantations can either cause deforestation by replacing natural forests or avoid this by using previously cleared areas. The extent of these two situations is contested in tropical biodiversity hotspots where objective data are limited. Here, we explore delays between deforestation and the establishment of industrial tree plantations on Borneo using satellite imagery. Between 1973 and 2015 an estimated 18.7 Mha of Borneo’s old-growth forest w…

  • Actor-specific contributions to the deforestation slowdown in the Brazilian Amazon

    Open AccessJavier Godar, Toby A Gardner et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    Significance The Brazilian Amazon is at a critical juncture after the recent stabilization of deforestation rates. Identifying opportunities for continued deforestation reductions requires an understanding of the contribution of different actors to overall deforestation. We provide the first such assessment, to our knowledge, that reports on two headline findings. First, between 2004 and 2011, areas dominated by properties larger than 500 ha acco…

  • Smallholders and communities in timber markets

    Open AccessPablo PachecoARTICLEConservation and Society2012

    Forest tenure reforms have granted smallholders and communities formal rights to land and forest resources. This article explores the various ways in which these local actors engage with timber markets in the context of such reforms. I argue that the economic benefits that communities can capture from the use of forest resources, mainly timber, are mediated by two sets of factors that are beyond the process of tenure reform. The first set of fact…

    This article provides an integrated analytical framework to explain the factors and trends shaping cattle ranching development in the Brazilian Amazon and its implications for deforestation. The two most important factors currently shaping cattle ranching evolution in this region are gradual market integration and the associated shifting policy contexts. Based on these two broader contextual factors, this article analyzes four main specific trend…

  • The Recognition of Forest Rights in Latin America

    Pablo Pacheco, Deborah Barry et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2011Cited by: 17References: 14

    Significant tenure reforms have taken place over public forestlands in the past 20 years in Latin America. These reforms differ from previous tenure reforms with respect to their origins and goals. In forest tenure reform, rights have being granted through a diversity of tenure arrangements, mainly to those already living in forests and to collectives rather than individuals, and with the potentially contradictory goals of promoting local well-be…
