is.evaluation.notesThis study is a response to a previous study published in Land Use Policy by Brandt et al. 2016 that concluded that deforestation in Congo was higher in forest concessions with forest management plans (FMPs) than in those without. The authors firstly highlight several methodological biases and misinterpretations of FM that led Brands and collaborators to draw their conclusion. Secondly, they perform a comparison of deforestation rate in FMUs with and without FMPs using satellite imagery.
is.evaluation.quotesThe authors found that "...during 2000-2010 in North Congo, deforestation rates were higher in the seven (7) main FMUs without FMPs (all of which were harvested during this time) than in the six harvested FMUs with FMPs." and that "with production remaining constant, concessions with FMPs are approximately twice as efficient as those without".
