R. A. Neugarten, R. A. Rasolofoson, et al.

This study explores how a political crisis in Madagascar influenced community-managed forests and protected areas, revealing that post-crisis, deforestation accelerated more in community-managed forests than in state-protected areas. The research, conducted by Rachel A. Neugarten and colleagues, highlights potential vulnerabilities in community-based conservation amidst political turmoil.
