.... Abstract Deforestation due to land-use and land-cover (LULC) change has been linked to increased emerging zoonotic disease risk despite limited local level data on such outbreaks. This Forum reevaluates this risk inference using newly released data on zoonotic disease outbreaks, accounting for Structural...

In 2016 and 2017, the diversity and sources of water supporting immature development of mosquitoes in Talangaye Rainforest (South West Cameroon) before, during and after deforestation were investigated. Mosquito eggs, larvae and pupae were collected from 12 natural, seminatural...

... correspondence to [email protected] Abstract Climate change requires major mitigation efforts, mainly emission reduction. Carbon sequestration and avoided deforestation are complementary mitigation strategies that can promote nature conservation and local development but may also have undesirable impacts. We...

... Curbing deforestation is one of the most important mitigation policies in places with tropical forests, and countries like Peru have included them as a key component of their climate commitments. ¹ In Peru, deforestation is the main sectoral source of carbon emissions, directly driven by small...

... improvement for local people. While some studies have shown a weak contribution of CFs in preventing deforestation ( 14 ), a substantial number of studies have shown that CFs can contribute to biodiversity conservation ( 15 ), carbon storage ( 16 ), and forest conservation ( 17–20 ). Yet, a majority...

..., the edible dormouse is threatened with extinction and therefore protected. As an arboreal species with severely restricted dispersal outside the treetops, it is particularly vulnerable to the effects of deforestation. In addition, its reproduction depends on access to food of suitable quality (cutting down...

Meteorological variables such as the annual...

... that formalizing tenure for Indigenous lands reduced deforestation and/or increased reforestation in the Atlantic Forest—a region with higher rates of past deforestation than those investigated in many other tropical forest biomes. In doing so, our findings may support an environmental argument to recognize...

The policymaker’s decision is analyzed as a treatment choice problem under ambiguity—appropriate...

It results in food crop contamination and disease. Soil pollutants wash into rivers causing water pollution. Deforestation causes soil...
