Ana Buchadas @anabuchadas.bsky.social · 07/04/2026🏛️📢 Failed land investments are a wake-up call for governments to: • Reevaluate priorities in land governance. • Enhance government enforcement capabilities. • Prioritize and amplify local voices. 010
Ana Buchadas @anabuchadas.bsky.social · 07/04/20263️⃣ Most of the projects targeted areas used by local, forest-dependent communities. Despite failure, some of these communities lost access to lands in the process, indicating that even failed projects can result in land grabs. 👤🌳 110
Ana Buchadas @anabuchadas.bsky.social · 07/04/2026This resulted in 3 main findings: 1️⃣ Projects largely failed because they faced resistance from local communities, highlighting major misalignments. 2️⃣ Deforestation was often a step toward production, but surprisingly, a large share of these cases involved illegal timber harvesting. 🌳🚫 110
Ana Buchadas @anabuchadas.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Millions of hectares of tropical woodlands are being cleared for agricultural projects that are not productive. 📉 Our new study reviews land investments that failed and led to deforestation to understand why they failed, how they deforested and how this process changed access by local communities 110
