Reforestation Policy & Rural Livelihoods: Migratio & Remittance
This study investigates the role remittance play in sustaining forest and livelihoods. The experiment is based on China’s largest payments for ecosystem services policy, Congversion of Cropland to Forest Program (CCFP).
This paper describes methods for assessing effects of concurrently implemented policies. Methods for assessing spillover effects among concurrent green initiatives Author: Qi Zhang Updated: April 2024
This study investigates the hidden linkages among concurrent payments for ecosystem services programs. Major findings & conclusions:
Multiple conservation programs are often implemented in same area(s) or involved same recipients.

Reforestation Policy & Rural Livelihoods
Income inequality is a critical issue of socio-economic development, particularly in rural areas where forest-dependent people are often vulnerable to the intervention of forest policies. This study investigates income distribution and inequality of rural households influenced by China’s largest reforestation policy, the Congversion of Cropland to Forest Program (CCFP).
This study analyzes the drivers of farmers’ participation in three concurrent strategies of payments for ecosystem services programs using hierarchical linear models.

The book exmaines concurrent green initiatives and their spillover effects on environmnetal conservation and mangement to reveal their impacts on conservation effectiveness, drawing on a range of international case studies all over the world.
