The Impact of Marine Protected Areas on Well-being: Evidence from Indonesia Wageningen University & Research, The Netherlands As marine protected areas (MPAs) expand under global targets such as 30x30, rigorous evidence on community impacts remains limited. We estimate the effect of MPAs on multidimensional well-being in coastal Indonesia, focusing on villages within 10 km of MPAs in Papua and West Papua. Using village-level panel data and a staggered difference-in-differences design that exploits variation in MPA timing over three decades, we measure well-being with the Multidimensional Well-being Index (MWI). MPA establishment is associated with higher MWI, with larger gains for villages near older MPAs. The results highlight pathways for conservation to support both biodiversity and development goals locally. | |
