 With my research, I am trying to evaluate what is the impact of economic growth and poverty alleviation policies in deforestation. The main goal of my doctoral research is to try to figure out whether synergies of trade-off emerge into the context of incentive-based forest conservation. I study natural resource governance, in particular the relationship between human communities and forest management in developing countries in Latin America. I'm particularly interested in the methodological advances in the design and evaluation of payments for ecosystem services schemes. The red mechanisms have a challenging mission to reduce deforestation and forest degradation while achieving people's co-benefits. My research was about impact assessment of the Red Blossom National Initiative in Catian District in Central Germantan, Indonesia. I'm interested to see how palm oil certification has affected the socioeconomic outcomes of communities who live around palm oil plantations and plantation laborers.
