TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate transferable household production functions of NTFP extraction in the Eastern Arc Mountains (EAM) in Tanzania, based on information from seven multi-site datasets related to the behaviour of over 2000 households.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the efficacy of using education and outreach activities to improve community knowledge and attitudes about marine protected areas (MPAs) and find that an average increase of 33% in knowledge and positive attitudes was associated with a large decrease in “not sure” responses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used remote sensing data to estimate land and forest degradation inside 1788 protected areas across 19 countries in Latin America and found no association between a country's rate of land degradation inside protected areas and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, GDP growth, or rural population density.

TL;DR: The key factors underlying project achievements that may be replicable by other conservation projects include the community-driven approach of the project, knowledge exchanges within and between communities inside and outside the country, a project-supported local community organizer in each district, and strong community leadership.

TL;DR: This study supports the importance of including FP/MCH as part of integrated projects to enhance resilience, and defines and measure resilience within the context of Population, Health, and Environment programming and quantifies the link between resilience and family planning.
