This study examines the ecological restoration processes within offers policy recommendations. It investigates causal relationships affecting populations Cibunian Cibeureum villages using an ex post facto design quantitative methods. Focusing on beneficiaries, who generally possess higher education levels, explores link between improved management. Data were collected via structured questionnaires analyzed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings reveal that Waqf Forest Institution significantly impacts socio-economic benefits of forest, contributing 26.4% these benefits. Additionally, institution enhances by 13.9%.

Abstract Restoring the degraded Atlantic Forest is one of biggest conservation challenges in Brazil. In a biome with high human presence, understanding potential for restoration approaches, such as agroforestry, to provide benefits smallholder farmers and biodiversity essential developing equitable strategies. Smallholder or family are national food security, producing most fruit vegetables consumed Their farms can also ecological stepping stones biodiversity. To better understand their role restoration, this study explores use agroforestry by from Movimento Sem Terra (MST), Rural Landless Workers' Movement, Pontal do Paranapanema. We quantitative qualitative data assess farmer perceptions measures which support farming, barriers implementation its impact on indicators wellbeing. find report significant 8 18 tested indicators. Attitudes varied, but common themes emerge including value tree cover shade cooling effects, difficulties selling products. Our results show lack policy initial investment needs constraints opportunity cost not considered large barrier. Tailored policies financial needed integrate thousands into agenda, helping reach targets while supporting rural livelihoods security.

Under the UN-Decade of Ecosystem Restoration and Bonn Challenge, second-growth forest is promoted as a global solution to climate change, degradation associated losses biodiversity ecosystem services. Second growth often invaded by alien tree species understanding how this impacts carbon stock recovery key for restoration planning. We assessed diversity in second two Acacia non-invaded growth, with edge effects, Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Carbon forests was threefold lower than forests. Increasingly isolated, fragmented deforested areas had low stocks when non-invaded, whereas opposite true invaded. Non-invaded recovered sixfold higher taxonomic, phylogenetic functional forest. Higher turnover nestedness underpinned abundance threatened endemic presented positive relationships between biodiversity, we did not detect any relationship, indicating that more does equal landscapes high vulnerability invasive acacias. To deliver on combined change goals, planning management must consider biological invasion risk.

The concept of ecosystem services and their valuation has gained significant attention in recent years due to the profound interdependence interconnectedness between humans ecosystems. As several studies on forest have stressed human-nature interactions lately, research study area, environmental conditions shows rapid changes while human pressures forests intensify. Thus, questions are as follows: (i) what monetary non-monetary value provided by Piatra Craiului National Park (ii) relationship with other variables, focusing identifying differences resemblances each approach.

More than one billion people worldwide receive cash or in-kind transfers from social protection programs. In low-income countries, these are often conditioned on participation in labor-intensive public works to rehabilitate local infrastructure natural resources. Despite their popularity, the environmental impacts of programs remain largely undocumented. We quantify impact tree cover Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), world's largest and longest-running programs, using satellite-based data combined with difference-in-differences inverse probability treatment weighting methodologies. find that PSNP increased by 3.8% between 2005 2019, larger increases less densely populated areas steep-sloped terrain. As increasing is considered an important strategy mitigate global warming, our results suggest a win–win potential for safety net component.
