This book explicitly examines concurrent green initiatives, where initiatives overlap either geographically or in terms of recipients of multiple payments. The book provides a detailed analysis of case studies in the USA and China, including the USA-based Conservation Reserve Program and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, and the China based Grain-to-Green Program and the Forest Ecological Benefit Compensation Fund. Through this comparison, the book shows the impact of concurrent green initiatives, including additional or unintended benefits for conservation and local communities as well as negative spillover effects. The book complements these case studies by drawing on other global examples ranging in size from local to continental, including planting native trees and shrubs in Australia and green initiatives in the Baltic Sea region. Overall, this book demonstrates the importance of analyzing concurrent green efforts to better understand both the positive and negative impacts to ensure the optimal effectiveness of these policies and programs for conservation and environmental management. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental conservation and management, land use, ecosystem services and environmental policy, as well as policymakers and practitioners working on environmental initiatives and programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLi An\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Center for Complex Human-Environment Systems at San Diego State University, San Diego, CA, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConghe Song is a Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQi Zhang is a Research Scholar in the Department of Geography at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEve Bohnett is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Geography at San Diego State University, San Diego, CA, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 154\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67688151777382,"sku":"9781032268705","price":109.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/ajW8c7zoeV9781032268705.webp?v=1791762717","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/conservation-effectiveness-and-concurrent-green-initiatives-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
