Evaluating the Effect of Bolivia’s Environmental Rural Cadaster on Deforestation

The broad objective of this TC is to evaluate the efficacy of Bolivia ERC, and to distill the implications for forest conservation and land tenure policy both in Bolivia and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. The specific objectives of the TC are to answer three related research questions. First, what is the effect of the ERC on deforestation in the Bolivian lowlands, where the vast majority of the countries forest loss has occurred? Second, how are these effects moderated by the geophysical, socioeconomic, and institutional characteristics of rural properties? And finally, what are the implications of the answers to the first two research questions for the design and implementation of Bolivia's ERC and more broadly, for forest conservation and land regularization interventions in Latin American and the Caribbean?
