Protected area effectiveness
Protected sites are matched to unprotected sites with similar slope, remoteness and pressure, and differences in forest loss or species trends are estimated with sensitivity to hidden bias.

Conservation and restoration spend public and private money on the expectation that interventions work. Causal inference tests that expectation, estimating what protected areas, payments, restoration and policy changes achieved compared with what would have happened without them. Without that comparison, background trends are easily mistaken for success.
Causal inference and impact evaluation develop methods to determine whether and how interventions or exposures cause outcomes. They separate genuine effects from correlation. In biodiversity and nature, climate and hazards and oceans and coasts, causal inference shows which riduzione del rischio measures actually work. It supports allocating resources toward interventions with demonstrated effect across connected risks. The canonical description is on gli STEM Commons.

Difference-in-differences and synthetic control designs compare enrolled land with comparable land outside a programme, before and after it starts.
Staggered adoption of moratoria, regulations or zero-deforestation commitments is used to estimate effects on clearing and on displacement of clearing to other areas.

Processo
PRISMA 2020 è una linea guida di rendicontazione per le revisioni sistematiche; le fasi seguono la sua lista di controllo, non una sequenza obbligatoria, e nessun documento Nexus la adotta.
RapportiOutline of an externally published reporting guideline, not a Nexus process and not a record of operation. PRISMA 2020 mainly covers reviews of intervention effects. No Nexus page names it. Every programme is at service level R0.
Identification assumptions are probed through placebo tests, falsification checks and analisi di sensibilità. Replication across settings tests external validity.
| Verifica | Come si fa |
|---|---|
| Covariate balance | Treated and comparison units are compared on observed characteristics before effects are estimated |
| Placebo and pre-trend tests | Effects are tested in periods and places where none should exist |
| Sensitivity to hidden bias | Results state how strong an unobserved confounder would need to be to change the conclusion |
| Spillover and leakage | Neighbouring areas are examined for displaced pressure |
Unobserved confounding and spillovers can bias estimates. Effects found in one context may not transfer to another.
