This paper introduces a special feature on biodiversity conservation and poverty traps. We define and explain the core concepts and then identify four distinct classes of mechanisms that define important interlinkages between biodiversity and poverty. The multiplicity of candidate mechanisms underscores a major challenge in designing policy appropriate across settings. This framework is then used to introduce the ensuing set of papers, which empirically explore these various mechanisms linking poverty traps and biodiversity conservation.
本文介绍了一个关于生物多样性保护和贫困陷阱的特别专题。我们定义并解释了核心概念，然后确定了四类不同的机制，这些机制定义了生物多样性和贫困之间的重要相互联系。候选机制的多样性凸显了在不同环境中设计适当政策的主要挑战。然后，我们使用这个框架来介绍接下来的一组论文，这些论文从实证角度探讨了将贫困陷阱与生物多样性保护联系起来的各种机制。
