Key messages
- We assess the impacts of a REDD+ project that paid smallholders to reduce deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, during and after payments.
- We find that payments were effective at reducing deforestation, but only while they were ongoing.
- After payments had ended, deforestation resumed, but not at a rate that eliminated previous forest conservation outcomes.
- Deforestation reductions required payments, but the environmental gains lasted.
