Evidence-Driven Governance Framework for Forest Conservation and Economic Sustainability: A Systematic Knowledge Analysis of the Brazilian Amazon

Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Forest conservation in the Brazilian Amazon involves complex interactions among land-use planning, public policy, financial investment, and socio-economic development. Existing studies primarily evaluate individual conservation strategies, yet lack an integrated analytical framework capable of explaining their combined governance mechanisms and implementation barriers. To address this gap, this paper proposes an evidence-driven analytical framework that systematically synthesizes multi-source literature knowledge into a structured sustainability governance model. A systematic knowledge extraction and categorization process was conducted on peer-reviewed studies published between 2004 and 2022. Conservation measures were organized into four strategic dimensions: land-use regulation, environmental policy intervention, external financial investment, and technological innovation. The framework further models inter-strategy dependency relationships to identify coordination mechanisms and failure points in large-scale environmental governance. Results indicate that policy instruments function as the central coordination layer enabling implementation of other strategies, while financial support determines scalability and technological feasibility. Land-use strategies directly affect deforestation reduction but are highly sensitive to institutional clarity and local participation. The major barriers across strategies include policy ambiguity, funding allocation inefficiency, and limited stakeholder engagement. The proposed framework reveals that effective forest protection requires synergistic governance rather than isolated interventions.
