Restrictions on use of the land in the buffer zone of Iguaçu National Park - Parana

A study of 42 agricultural properties near Iguaçu National Park, Brazil, found that while farmers complied with environmental legislation and the park's management plan—particularly regarding the minimum distance for cultivating genetically modified crops—they expressed significant dissatisfaction due to economic losses from land-use restrictions. The research, conducted between 2010 and 2011, interviewed farmers to assess compliance with regulations and their perceptions of these measures. The findings highlight a tension between conservation goals and agricultural livelihoods in buffer zones of protected areas.
