Since, 1978, China has pursued some of the world's most ambitious conservation programs, including Three Norths Shelter Forest System Project, Grain for Green and Natural Conservation Program. After 30 years experience with these researchers have found that improving agricultural technology providing appropriate payment ecosystem service (PES) to farmers displaced by programs can improve both environment society while avoiding malignant cycle in which poverty leads environmental destruction,...
Abstract Since the early 2000s, China has carried out extensive “grain-for-green” and grazing exclusion practices to combat desertification in desertification-prone region (DPR). However, environmental socioeconomic impacts of these remain unclear. We quantify compare changes fractional vegetation cover (FVC) with economic population data DPR before after implementation programmes. Here we show that climatic change CO 2 fertilization are relatively strong drivers rehabilitation from...
It is widely accepted that environmental degradation and poverty are linked conservation reduction should be tackled together. However, success with integrated strategies has been elusive. Here, we present the results of a study illustrates how development combines economic perspectives provides appropriate compensation to affected populations can improve both nature society, thereby eradicating "poverty trap." The show if cannot livelihood local residents, will unable restore degraded...
Abstract Desertification is the result of complex interactions among various factors, including climate change and human activities. However, previous research generally focused on either meteorological factors associated with or activities lacked quantitative assessments their interaction combined long-term monitoring. Thus, roles in desertification remain uncertain. To understand that determine whether mitigation programs can contribute to control vegetation cover improvements desertified...
Abstract Scientific research and technological innovation are driving modern economies; however, a new form of property rights is required to compensate knowledge workers for their contributions. In 1994, the Science Technology Bureau Shenzhen, China implemented policy encourage scientists engineers develop innovative technologies that would provide them share profits earned from innovations. This created “shared rights” system. China’s shared model so conditions under which it can improve...
Environmental degradation and poverty are linked, must be tackled together. Doing so requires a win-win strategy that both restores the environment ensures sustainable livelihood for those who affected by restoration project. To understand importance of combining ecological biodiversity conservation objectives with consideration livelihoods residents, we examined successful project in ecologically fragile Changting County, Fujian Province, China. We attribute project's success to development...
Abstract Ecosystem degradation is a major cause of poverty, and poverty further aggravates ecosystem through feedback known as the 'poverty trap' that can prevent sustainable socioeconomic development in ecologically fragile areas. However, most ecological restoration programmes have failed to improve lives residents targeted areas because planners understand driving forces behind trap. Finding threshold conditions for trap, which represent when current state system changes new inferior...
