Effective moratoria on land acquisitions reduce tropical deforestation: evidence from Indonesia [1]

The tropics have suffered substantial forest loss, and elevated deforestation rates have been closely linked to large-scale land acquisitions(LSLA). Having a timely and accurate understanding of global LSLA pattern will be critically important for concluding related policies and actions. [2] Here, we investigate global LSLA networks and find that land acquisitions are characterized by dominant acquisition flows from the developing to the developed world (75.4%), and less of these flows are retained within the developing world (22.8%) or the developed world (1.8%).
