The unidirectional relationship between forest disturbance and armed conflict in the Andean Paramo
The armed conflict in Colombia has profoundly transformed rural landscapes, significantly impacting local communities. Sumapaz, the world's largest paramo, is a crucial water source for over 15 million people in the central Andean region of Colombia. Historically, the paramo functioned as a strategic corridor for the leftist guerrilla Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) to gain access to Bogotá for a potential armed takeover of pol…
Central America’s agro-ecological suitability for cultivating coca, Erythroxylum spp
We assess how much of Central America is likely to be agriculturally suitable for cultivating coca ( Erythroxylum spp), the main ingredient in cocaine. Since 2017, organized criminal groups (not smallholders) have been establishing coca plantations in Central America for cocaine production. This has broken South America’s long monopoly on coca leaf production for the global cocaine trade and raised concerns about future expansion in the isthmus. …
The unintended consequences of production bans
Production bans are a common way for governments to address issues of social concern. However, when consumer demand for banned items is insensitive to price changes, cross-border trade may undermine these efforts. We examine the effects of Kenya’s 2018 moratorium on the extraction of wood products, including logs and charcoal, from public and community forests. The data show an immediate 36% increase in the domestic charcoal price in Kenya, where…
Overlapping land rights and deforestation in Uganda
The majority of the world’s land is held in customary tenure systems, often with overlapping claims. Designing effective policy to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation requires understanding land management choices within these systems. Using a nation-wide random sample of over 300,000 hectares of forested land in Uganda from 2000 to 2019, we examine how deforestation trends across a system of overlapping rights, known as mailo lan…
No peace for the forest
The end of gunpoint conservation
In November 2016, after 52 years of armed conflict, the Colombian government and the primary rebel group, the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) reached a peace agreement. The agreement incorporated three changes to institutions governing forest land occupation and use: (a) the demobilization of FARC from forested places, (2) the future distribution of legal land titles and new road construction into forests, and (3) the eradicati…
