Carbon-emission intensity from projected deforestation (top) and a conservation scheme reducing future emissions by 25% with minimal agricultural costs (bottom), Western Panama (Global Environ. Change, In Prep.)

Strategic Conservation

Conservation activities proceed with limited social license, political will, and economic resources.  This research theme assesses trade-offs entailed by 'real world' conservation and defines conservation schemes with 'optimal' spatial, economical, and social dimensions at national scales.

Previous Research

Current Research
  • Efficiencies of REDD+ forest emission-reduction schemes promoting and preventing voluntary forest conservation by landholders induced by economic incentives
