Abstract

The world has pledged to protect 30 percent of its land and waters by 2030 to halt the rapid deterioration of critical ecosystems. We summarize the state of knowledge about the impacts of protected area policies, with a focus on deforestation and vegetation cover. We discuss critical issues around data and measurement, identify the most commonly-used empirical methods, and summarize empirical evidence across multiple regions of the world. In most cases, protection has had at most a modest impact on forest cover, with stronger effects in areas that face pressure of economic development. We then identify several open areas for research to advance our understanding of the effectiveness of protected area policies: the use of promising recent econometric advancements, shifting focus to direct measures of biodiversity, filling the knowledge gap on the effect of protected area policy in advanced economies, investigating the long-run impacts of protection, and understanding its equilibrium effects.

保护区政策对环境的影响
世界已承诺到2030年保护30%的土地和水域,以阻止关键生态系统的迅速恶化。我们总结了关于保护区政策影响的知识现状,重点是森林砍伐和植被覆盖。我们讨论了有关数据和测量的关键问题,确定了最常用的经验方法,并总结了世界多个地区的经验证据。在大多数情况下,保护对森林覆盖的影响最多是有限的,而对面临经济发展压力的地区的影响则更大。然后,我们确定了几个开放的研究领域,以促进我们对保护区政策有效性的理解:利用有前景的最新计量经济学进展,将重点转移到生物多样性的直接测量上,填补发达经济体保护区政策影响的知识空白,调查保护的长期影响,并理解其平衡效应。
