dc.description.abstract "Agricultural expansion, colonization and related settling programs, as well as mining and logging, have been among the key drivers of deforestation in the Amazon region for many decades. Environmental policy responses in the countries with territory in the Amazon have traditionally relied mainly on command-and-control measures (i.e. disincentive-based policy instruments) 3. More recently, both policy makers and the civil society increasingly promote incentive-based forest conservation policies (IBPs), such as payments for environmental services, as more effective and socially acceptable alternatives to purely disincentive-based conservation policies. IBP have also gained momentum in the debate on international climate policy, where Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) is looked to as a potential forest-based climate change mitigation mechanisms." en_US
