“…Curbing tropical deforestation has moved to centre stage in the international climate agenda, and it is one of the main missions of the REDD+ mechanism (Pistorius 2012). Accordingly, recent decades have witnessed a proliferation of policies and programmes aimed at conserving forests in tropical countries (Chervier et al 2022). These policies and programmes are based on a large and heterogeneous set of interventions, typically categorized into disincentives, incentives, and enabling measures (Börner and Vosti 2012).…”

Type of the interventions evaluated by the reviewed papers viii Executive summary Recent decades have witnessed a proliferation of policies and programmes to conserve forests in tropical countries based on a large and heterogeneous set of interventions. Their impact evaluations most frequently report statistically significant but still modest conservation results. Therefore, how to increase the effectiveness of interventions is an important empirical question. The first generation of impact evaluations focused on estimating the average effects of conservation interventions. This was essential knowledge for inferring additionality and thus understanding whether and by how much interventions reduced forest loss compared to a counterfactual scenario. However, average estimations may mask substantial variation in treatment, thus preventing the generating of information on where, how, and under what conditions forest interventions may achieve better results. After calls for taking impact evaluations to the next level, an emerging literature is implementing heterogeneity analysis. This provides robust evidence about the influence of different factors on the effectiveness of forest conservation interventions. Synthesizing and bringing such knowledge to policymakers is essential to guide the design and implementation of more effective forest interventions.In this article, we present the first systematic review of the counterfactual-based studies exploring the heterogeneous effects of forest conservation interventions implemented across the tropics. Our goal was to synthesize current knowledge on how the level of effectiveness of forest interventions varies according to the design and implementation options that create heterogeneous treatments, as well as the characteristics from the context that moderate treatment effects.We focused on English-language, peer-reviewed literature from two comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and expertly curated scientific databases (i.e., Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection). The review was restricted to scientific papers based on robust methods for causal inference (i.e., randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental methods), and that also explore impact heter...
