  • Satellite-detected gain in built-up area as a leading economic indicator

    Open AccessQing Ying, Matthew C Hansen et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Leading indicators of future economic activity include measures such as new housing starts, managers purchasing index, money supply, and bond yields. Such macroeconomic and financial indicators hold predictive power in signaling recessionary periods. However, many indicators are constrained by the fact that data are often published with some delay and are subject to constant revision (Bandholz and Funke 2003, Huang et al 2018, Orphanides 2003). I…

  • Conservation Trust Funds, Protected Area Management Effectiveness, and Conservation Outcomes: Lessons from the Global Conservation Fund

    Open AccessCuran Bonham, Marc K Steininger et al.ARTICLEPARKS2014

    The Global Conservation Fund (GCF) is a global programme intended to address the problems associated with protected areas that lack sufficient resources to function effectively. In operation since 2001, GCF has built a global portfolio of over 65 protected area investments linked to a comprehensive integrated data set on protected area management effectiveness and conservation outcomes. With data collected over the last six years (2008)(2009)(201…

  • Effects of systematic sampling on satellite estimates of deforestation rates

    Open AccessMarc K Steininger, Fabiano Godoy et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2009

    Options for satellite monitoring of deforestation rates over large areas include the use of sampling. Sampling may reduce the cost of monitoring but is also a source of error in estimates of areas and rates. A common sampling approach is systematic sampling, in which sample units of a constant size are distributed in some regular manner, such as a grid. The proposed approach for the 2010 Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) of the UN Food and Agricu…

  • Fifty years of deforestation and forest fragmentation in Madagascar

    Open AccessGrady Harper, GRADY J HARPER et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Conservation2007

    Tropical deforestation is a key contributor to species extinction and climate change, yet the extent of tropical forests and their rate of destruction and degradation through fragmentation remain poorly known. Madagascar's forests are among the most biologically rich and unique in the world but, in spite of longstanding concern about their destruction, past estimates of forest cover and deforestation have varied widely. Analysis of aerial photogr…

  • Thirty Years of Land-cover Change in Bolivia

    Timothy J Killeen, Veronica Calderon et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2007Cited by: 8

    Land-cover change in eastern lowland Bolivia was documented using Landsat images from five epochs for all landscapes situated below the montane tree line at approximately 3000 m, including humid forest, inundated forest, seasonally dry forest, and cloud forest, as well as scrublands and grasslands. Deforestation in eastern Bolivia in 2004 covered 45,411 km2, representing approximately 9% of the original forest cover, with an additional conversion…
