“…Countries around the world are exploring forestry-based strategies and policies to alleviate poverty or improve livelihoods. For example, the role and the potential of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) collection in poverty alleviation and livelihood improvement is widely recognized [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Moreover, community forestry is considered as a common pattern of forest management around the world, aiming to achieve the win–win goals of forest conservation and regional poverty alleviation, especially in developing countries.…”

China has put forward a series of forestry-based poverty alleviation policies, aiming to alleviate poverty and improve the livelihoods of rural households, especially in backward and ecologically fragile areas with rich forest resources. Based on field survey data, we used an empirical analysis method to investigate the role of forestry-based policies in alleviating the relative poverty of rural households in the rocky desertification area in southwest China. The Logit regression results demonstrate that forestry-based poverty alleviation policies are significant at alleviating the relative poverty of rural households, and there are differences in the degree and significance of the impact of various forestry-based poverty alleviation policies. In particular, the forestry industry support (FIS) policy, the ecological forest rangers (EFRs) policy, and the Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) can significantly decrease the incidence of relative poverty of rural households, while the effect of the Public Benefit Forest Compensation Program (PBFC) on decreasing the incidence of relative poverty is not significant. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the role and effectiveness of China’s forestry-based poverty alleviation policies, and can provide a reference for optimizing the forestry poverty alleviation policies for the specific area and even the whole nation, as well as provide experience for worldwide poverty alleviation by forestry.

“…Some studies assessed habitat quality dynamics and effectiveness of natural reserves based on changes in land use, vegetation coverage or socioeconomic statistics (Linderman et al, 2005;Li and Song, 2022;Chen et al, 2023). Other studies focused on field surveys of single human activity in giant panda natural reserves and studied its characteristics (Shen et al, 2022;Weng et al, 2022). Information on large-scale spatial patterns and longterm dynamic characteristics of human activities in the entire giant panda distribution area is still lacking, which is important for the assessment of long-term dynamic impacts of human activities on giant panda and habitat.…”

Human activities are one of the main factors threatening the long-term survival of wild giant pandas. Long-term and large-scale human activities can be quickly assessed by night light remote sensing data, which has been more and more widely used. In this paper, we analyzed the spatial patterns of nighttime light intensity and their dynamic changes from 2000 to 2020 in the entire giant panda distribution area using long-term nighttime light remote sensing data, and evaluated the dynamic threats of nighttime light-represented human activities to giant panda populations by proximity of light source and its intensity. We also assessed the relationships between the nighttime light dynamics and the trends of habitat fragmentation. Results showed that the intensity and range of the nighttime light around panda habitat had increased significantly from 2000 to 2020. The nighttime light intensity inside the natural reserves is significantly lower than outside, and it becomes more obvious over time. The intensity and range of nighttime light inside the natural reserves first increased and then decreased during the two decades, indicating that the protection inside the natural reserves effectively reversed the rapid increase in human activities in the previous decade. From 2000 to 2020, nighttime light sources became closer to local panda populations. In particular, they approached the pandas in the first decade, and stayed away in the second decade. This is mainly reflected in the weakened threats of nighttime light-represented human activities on the core large populations of the Qinling, Minshan and Qionglai Mountains from 2010 to 2020, but the threats on the peripheral populations continued to strengthen, where nighttime light became not only closer but also more intensified. The increase in nighttime light intensity and range were also significantly positively correlated with the increase in habitat fragmentation, especially during 2000–2010. Our study reveals the dynamic changes of nighttime light-represented human activities’ threats to wild giant panda and its habitat, gives advices for effectively protecting giant pandas and their habitats from human activities, and has implications for the assessment of human activities’ threats to other species in the world.
