So happy to share a piece of super collaborative land system science research on north-eastern Madagascar, involving BSc, MSc and PhD students and senior researchers !

2) Using InVEST & lookup tables, and based on time dense land use change data, we model how the supply of locally and globally relevant ecosystem services (ES) changed in recent decades in two forest frontier, mountain landscapes under the establishment of protected areas (PAs).
3) We found that PA establishment managed to slow down ongoing losses on globally-demanded ES (i.e. global climate regulation & the existence value endangered lemur species provide), mostly by preventing forest to shifting cultivation conversion.

4) However, PA establishment seems to also have driven down the supply of locally-relevant ES, such as food crops (i.e. rice) and bequest value, in this context understood as the capacity these landscapes have for supporting a rice farmer identity across generations.

5) We also highlight study limitations, like challenges in capturing environmental heterogeneity and variability in land management practices in ES modelling, uncertainties related to assumptions and values used to model ES supply, potential for ES double-counting, etc, etc, etc.
6) These findings contribute to understand trade-offs between meeting global biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation objectives and the needs of local populations under conservation interventions.
7) A million thanks to the people in our study sites, and to all colleagues who contributed to this research! 🙌👏🙏 @R4Telecoupling @r4d_programme @GlobalLandP
