1 Mapping properties to monitor forests; essons from the Rural Environmental Cadast in Pará, Brazil Jessica L Roe Co-authors: Lisa Rausch, Jacob Munger, and Holly Gibbs University of Wisconsin-Madison Photo: Andre Penner
2 Environmental Monitoring in Pará [with GIS], deforestation in these areas is going to have a name and a surname. This fact certainly leads to a sensible increase in the governance capability of the environmental agencies in the Amazon states senior Brazilian gov t official quoted in Rajão et al Baron et al PRODES
3 TNC 2013 Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR) : Rural Environmental Cadastre
4 Goals: 1. Evaluate how property registration affects deforestation behavior 2. Evaluate how much environmental mapping is kept separate from land claiming and tenure concerns
5 Statistical Methods for Evaluation Impact of Registration on Deforestation Panel models Property level fixed effects Year fixed effects Std. Errors clustered at the municipality level Continuous, binary, and proportional measures of deforestation outcome Different model specifications: 1. Average effect of being registered 2. Effect of being the year before, year of, or year after registration relative to reference of over a year beforehand
6 Impact of CAR registration on clearing Small effect, not very significant Overall Effect on ln*-transformed defor p-val (0.13) Avg. overall value of ln*-transformed defor 0.25 Effect on probability of defor -0.4% p-val (0.56) Avg. overall chance of defor 12.4% Effect on percent of forest cleared -0.23% p-val (0.09) Avg. overall percent of forest cleared 1.99% n 45,942
7 Effect of registration by size category Small Semi-small Medium Large Effect on ln-transformed defor p-val Avg. value of ln-transformed defor Effect on probability of defor -0.30% -1.30% -0.50% 0.50% p-val Avg. chance of defor 12.05% 12.92% 11.94% 13.90% n 26,479 10,457 5,765 3,241 For one size class, there is a distinct reduction in deforestation

11 Area of CAR registration (axis is on log-scale) 2500
12 Conclusions Mapping by itself not much effect because not much enforcement Defor behavior can change if incentives are strong and requirements are feasible But be careful strong incentives can also lead to unreliable data Land title is strong incentive here not possible to disentangle from env. registry
13 Thank you! Comments and suggestions very welcome: This project benefitted from the generous help of Lisa Naughton, Fanny Moffette, Jennifer Alix-Garcia, members of the Gibbs Land Use Lab and Biodiversity Interest Group, and two anonymous reviewers.

However, trends are identical when calculated for the restricted model sample and all values differ by less than 5 percentage points.

31 Statistical Evaluation Strategy Panel regression with property-level fixed effects: On average (for a given property, for a given year), is the chance of deforestation different after a property registers? Defor measure it = property fixed effect i + year fixed effect t + ifregisteredbythatyear it + clustered error Defor measure it = property fixed effect i + year fixed effect t + interactionbetweenyearandifregisteredbythatyear it + clustered error Event Study with property-level fixed effects: On average (for a given property, for a given year), relative to the background rates when it is more than a year before a property registers, how does the chance of deforestation change when it is the year right before registration, the year of registration, the year following registration, or more than a year after registration? Defor measure it = property fixed effect i + year fixed effect t + ifyearpriortoregistration it + ifyearofregistration it + ifafterregistrationyear it + clustered error Defor is lower after registration; the policy did what we wanted it to do. Over a Year Before Reg. R-1 Reg. Year R+1 Over a Year After Reg. Defor is still lower after registration, but the policy did not do what we wanted it to do.
