| Description | In this paper, we develop a reduced form model for factors influencing the conservation of forest resources. We then estimate it using a bivariate negative binomial regression model with cases of illegal farming and illegal cattle grazing in the W Reserve in West Africa. Our results show that population size and farm area in the periphery of the W Reserve are associated with an increase of 2.4% and 7.1% of these illegal activities, respectively. On the other hand, income level, the existence of a checkpoint, and the distance between the villages and the reserve decrease these illegal activities by 7.3%, 63.2%, and 2.3%, respectively. |
