June 18, 2018 6:08 am Leave your thoughtsThis study explores the potential threat posed by extractive development to IFLs in the three major tropical forest regions: 1) Amazon, 2) Central Africa, and 3) Asia-Pacific. The analysis uses one of the most recent global spatial datasets on extractive concessions (mining, oil and gas accessed in 2018) and assessed against the extent of IFL 2016 data. The goal of this study is to build knowledge and highlight the extent and potential threat of future extractive development on IFL.
