- Title
Smallholders, The Amazon's New Conservationists.
- Authors
CAMPOS, MARINA T.; NEPSTAD, DANIEL C.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the development reserves in the tropical rain forest of Brazil. Their recent successes in establishing enormous forest reserves in a region riddled with rural violence and land wars signify that the conservation community must, once again, expand its concept of conservation partners. Smallholders may be the most important form of social capital on many expanding tropical forest frontiers, and can be critical to conservation strategies that strive to go beyond the establishment of parks and biological reserves
