A Community-Based Research Approach to Develop Chronic Wasting Disease Outreach with Tribal Communities
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal and contagious neurological disease of cervid populations across North America. Collaborative efforts between government agencies, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders are necessary to minimize CWD prevalence, spread, and impacts on animal and human health and well-being. However, critical information related to CWD epidemiology, management, and animal and human health risks was not effectively reac…
Governança ambiental no Brasil
A governança ambiental é peça-chave para atingir a Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). Este artigo explora o potencial do Brasil de aproximar-se dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da Agenda 2030. Para tanto, apresenta seus avanços e retrocessos, em particular após a Constituição Federal de 1988 enfocando: licenciamento ambiental; vegetação nativa; recursos pesqueiros; recursos hídricos; unidades de conservação; e m…
The future of agriculture and food
Inadequacies of the current agriculture and food systems are recognised globally in the form of damages to environment and human health. In addition, the prevailing economic and policy systems do not reflect these damages in its accounting systems and standards. These shortcomings lead to perverse and pervasive outcomes for society at large. Our proposal is to consider all social and environmental externalities - both negative and positive, in gl…
Spatially explicit valuation of the Brazilian Amazon Forest’s Ecosystem Services
Multi-level governance and power in climate change policy networks
This article proposes an innovative theoretical framework that combines institutional and policy network approaches to study multi-level governance. The framework is used to derive a number of propositions on how cross-level power imbalances shape communication and collaboration across multiple levels of governance. The framework is then applied to examine the nature of cross-level interactions in climate change mitigation and adaptation policy p…
Valuing nature’s contributions to people
Nature is perceived and valued in starkly different and oftenconflicting ways. This paper presents the rationale for theinclusive valuation of nature's contributions to people (NCP) indecision making, as well as broad methodological steps fordoing so. While developed within the context of theIntergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), this approach is more widely applicable toinitiatives at the knowledge?policy inte…
A Policy Mix to Prevent a Non-Commons Tragedy for Collective Forest Reserves in Agrarian Settlements in Northwest Mato Grosso
Agrarian reform settlements have recently been identified as a major contributor to ongoing deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. Collective forest reserves were established in some settlements to thwart forest loss, but settlers usually do not recognize forest commons, opting instead for continued private accumulation through forest clearing, or a "non-commons" tragedy. Pathways toward ensuring the viability of common-pool management in settlem…
Redd+ policy networks in Brazil

Payments for ecosystem services and the fatal attraction of win‐win solutions
In this commentary we critically discuss the suitability of payments for ecosystem services and the most important challenges they face. While such instruments can play a role in improving environmental governance, we argue that over‐reliance on payments as win‐win solutions might lead to ineffective outcomes, similar to earlier experience with integrated conservation and development projects. Our objective is to raise awareness, particularly amo…
Linking Forest Tenure Reform, Environmental Compliance, and Incentives
Adaptação às mudanças climáticas no Brasil
Em face da intensificação dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas, e das limitações das estratégias de mitigação em enfrentá-los, a temática da adaptação vem ganhando crescente importância. Este artigo apresenta parte dos resultados de uma ampla pesquisa que mapeou as iniciativas e os projetos em adaptação implementados pelo setor público, por organizações não governamentais e pelo setor privado, em todos os segmentos da atividade econômica e em toda…
Compensation for environmental services from artisanal fisheries in SE Brazil
Reconciling theory and practice
Overcoming Contradictions Between Growth and Sustainability
Exploring socioeconomic impacts of forest based mitigation projects
Rosewood Exploitation in the Brazilian Amazon
The environmental effects of agricultural trade liberalization in Latin America
The causes of tropical deforestation; the economic and statistical analysis of factors giving rise to the loss of the tropical forests
The Subsidy from Nature
This paper outlines the importance of the small-scale extractive sector to extremely impoverished households in rural areas of tropical Brazil. Extractive activities are important as inputs to household reproduction, and are critical as a source of cash income. In the case study we analyze, small-scale extraction was roughly equivalent to wage labor and to agriculture in its contribution to household income. We suggest that in rural development a…
