New Paper: roles of forests & tree in poverty dynamics

8/23/2021

 
We have a new paper in the journal Forest Policy and Economics reviewing the links between forests / tree-based systems and poverty dynamics.

Highlights: 
  • Evidence on four broad roles forests and tree-based systems play in household poverty dynamics reviewed  
  • Forests and tree-based systems shape household poverty dynamics through the production of both goods and ecosystem services 
  • The most commonly reported role is to maintain households at a steady level of wellbeing 
  • Negative forest externalities can maintain or move households into poverty   
  • Addressing gender disparities can contribute to long-term poverty reduction goals

New paper: Mouse lemur microhabitat use

8/4/2021

 
We have a new paper in the International Journal of Primatology investigating several aspects of the microhabitat structure that the rufous mouse lemur (Microcebus rufus) might prefer and examining how this structural preference varies across a heterogeneous landscape of forests with different disturbance levels.
