Drivers of reforestation across land-use sectors in the state of São Paulo, Brazil
Upscaling reforestation efforts is essential to meet ambitious global reforestation targets, requiring a clear understanding of the drivers and facilitating factors of forest gain, which may vary across land-use sectors. We analyse drivers of forest area change across various land-use sectors in the Atlantic Forest of São Paulo state, Brazil, to identify the Forest Transition pathway that best explains reforestation patterns. Using multiple regre…
The role of farmer’s resources, capabilities and perceptions on reforestation and forest cover in the Atlantic Forest
In the context of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), insights are urgently needed on how to engage land users in reforestation efforts. This study examined the resources, capabilities and perspectives of land users, i.e., farmers, in relation to reforestation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), an ecoregion that hosts 70 % of the Brazilian population while is also a biodiversity hotspot with only 28 % of native vegetation cov…
A system lock-in blocks the uptake of mixed sustainable Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil
Forest plantation areas across the globe are increasing in size and in 2019 Eucalyptus monocultures in Brazil covered 6.97 million hectares (0.8%). These monocultures hardly provide ecosystem services and do not support wildlife habitats. A transition towards more sustainable Eucalyptus plantations is urgently needed to support the provisioning of ecosystem services and conserve biodiversity. This transition requires the development of sustainabl…
Economic valuation of water services related to protected forest management
The context of daily household needs of rural communities, particularly the needs for water, often remains insufficiently considered in tropical forest management as it is facing an important decision-making trade-off between profit and preservation. We conducted a choice experiment study to elicit preferences of the rural community members in Central Sumatra, Indonesia, who perpetually depend on the ecosystem services of tropical forests. To inf…
Strategy games to improve environmental policymaking
The Global Forest Transition as a Human Affair
Forests across the world stand at a crossroads where climate and land-use changes are shaping their future. Despite demonstrations of political will and global efforts, forest loss, fragmentation, and degradation continue unabated. No clear evidence exists to suggest that these initiatives are working. A key reason for this apparent ineffectiveness could lie in the failure to recognize the agency of all stakeholders involved. Landscapes do not ha…
Towards more effective landscape governance for sustainability
Over the last two decades, sustainable landscape approaches are increasingly being adopted worldwide. An important challenge for these approaches is to analyse and improve governance systems that promote non-conflicting land uses to provide multiple ecosystem services and safeguard biodiversity for diverse social groups over the long term. Our study provides a diagnostic of the gaps and limitations of the current institutional arrangements of an …
An innovation perspective to climate change adaptation in coffee systems
Climate change is expected to have strong implications for smallholder coffee farmers and implementing adaptation measures would lessen their vulnerabilities. Adaptation measures have been identified in literature, but how these can be implemented remains unclear. Current certification programmes have the potential to provide guidance on how sustainability criteria can be addressed and taken up by farmers. We identify climate change adaptation op…
Election-driven weakening of deforestation control in the Brazilian Amazon
The impact of commodity price and conservation policy scenarios on deforestation and agricultural land use in a frontier area within the Amazon
Causal chains, policy trade offs and sustainability
