Do conservation interventions aimed at slowing deforestation and improving wellbeing work, and how do we know?

This talk will present evidence from a Randomised Control Trial of a Payment for Ecosystem Services Scheme in Bolivia, a quasi-experimental evaluation of Community Forest Management in Madagascar, and a participatory impact evaluation of the impact of Protected Areas in Madagascar. It will assess evidence of a range of outcomes from deforestation rates to household income and subjective wellbeing. The ultimate aim is to explore both the extent to which conservation interventions ‘work’, and to consider what sort of impact evaluations are most appropriate in what circumstances. If you are interested in the use of evidence to improve the design of conservation in practice, then this talk is for you!
