“…Several studies have analysed the transformation of indigenous land use facing different problems and opportunities, such as population growth (McSweeney and Arps, ; Sirén, ), integration into the market (Godoy et al, ; Lu, ; Gray et al, ), expansion of the agricultural frontier (Hayes, ), urbanisation (McSweeney and Jokisch, ; Eloy and Le Tourneau, ) and changes in the land tenure regime (Freire, ; De Robert, ; Albert et al, ), including the overlap with conservation areas (Kent, ; Newing, ; Tritsch, ).
