Policy Briefs
We produced a set of non-technical summaries of p4ges research papers.
- How effective are conservation investments in reducing deforestation and fires in Ankeniheny-Zahemena Corridor, Madagascar?
- Does Community Forest Management effectively slow deforestation and what is its impact on human well-being?
- Do REDD+ social safeguards reach the ‘right’ people?
- The social impacts of biodiversity offsets in a low income, high biodiversity country context
- Who bears the costs of forest conservation?
- What is the cost of providing livelihood projects to local communities as part of REDD+ and forest conservation projects?
- Can Small-Scale Livelihood Projects Deliver Both Livelihood And Conservation Benefits?
- How does land use change in eastern Madagascar influence hydrology?
- Carbon stock surveys in the framework of poverty alleviation in Madagascar: challenges and results
Other communication material
Working with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and FAPBM we have produced a poster explaining the need for social safeguards around Madagascar’s protected areas, and the difference between safeguards and sustainable development.
