TL;DR: Carbon prices of $30–$51 per tCO2 are needed to break even against costs, higher than those currently paid on carbon markets or through carbon funds, for Cambodia to match forest protection costs.

TL;DR: A horizon-scanning approach was used to assess the 40 emerging issues most affecting Myanmar's forests, including internal conflict, land-tenure insecurity, large-scale agricultural development, demise of state timber enterprises, shortfalls in government revenue and capacity, and opening of new deforestation frontiers with new roads, mines, and hydroelectric dams.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the dynamics and drivers of informal gold mining in northern Myanmar to shed light on the conditions needed for alternative livelihood and enforcement interventions to succeed, and found that mining and agriculture provided complementary livelihoods for many respondents as they met different livelihood needs, and many of the miners were economic migrants.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identified 37 PADDD events that affected two adjacent protected areas in northeastern Cambodia differently despite similar economic, environmental, and social conditions, and important differences in local context led to the eventual degazettement (100% loss) of one PA and downsizing (10.49%) of the other.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose an operational framework that combines disparate information on ecosystem type, extent, integrity, levels of protection, and risk of collapse to support the identification of irreplaceable "Critical Ecosystem Areas" (CEAs), to help advance these ecosystem targets.
