Project information

This project supports a spatial analysis of deforestation trends and drivers in the tri-national Paraná Atlantic Forest region, as presented in Mohebalian et al. (2022). Using geospatial data from Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, the study quantifies forest loss between 2000 and 2020 and evaluates the influence of factors such as road proximity, urban access, economic growth, and population density. The project uses statistical modeling and spatial data tools in R to estimate the effectiveness of Forest Protected Areas (FPAs) in mitigating deforestation. Results show heterogeneous policy impacts across countries, providing valuable insights for cross-border conservation planning and forest governance.
