Research projects

Assessing the effectiveness of the Malagasy protected area network

  • Project date 1.1.2010–1.4.2015
  • Head of research Dr. Mar Cabeza
  • Language n/a

We investigate the effectiveness of the Madagascar Protected Area network in decreasing deforestation rates and forest fires, accounting for confounding factors such as remoteness and accessibility. We will apply matching methods to get an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the PA network and look at the potential links to governance and protected area management.
