The stability of forests' cover and carbon stocks (i.e., stable magnitude, spatial extent, and temporal longevity) is crucial to mitigate the effects of climate change, protect biodiversity, and provide other nature's contributions to people. In the neotropics, the fate of forests is strongly associated with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) that have inhabited a considerable part of these ecosystems for decades to millennia. IPLC display distinct worldviews and values regarding nature that have resulted in processes of active landscape management. Due to this inherent influence on the landscape, IPLC's forests have been defined as domestic forests. Furthermore, IPLC domestic forests have been the subject of external interventions such as the establishment of Protected Areas (PAs) and financial incentives for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (i.e., REDD+). Given domestic forests' potential contribution to climate change mitigation and other nature's contributions to people, understanding the interplay between IPLC's inherent worldviews, values, and management with external policy interventions is of the utmost importance. Previous research has focused on the effect of IPLC and related policy interventions on avoiding deforestation. Nevertheless, few studies have explored IPLC's inherent influence on forest stability indicators. To address these gaps, this thesis aimed to answer the question: how do IPLC's land tenure, external policy incentives, and local values influence forest cover and carbon stocks stability in the neotropics?The first and second chapters relied on remote sensing and quasi-experimental methods to estimate IPLC effects on forest conservation. Concretely, the first chapter aimed to estimate the temporal and spatial effects of three land tenure regimes on aboveground carbon stocks in Panama and four Amazon Basin countries. The results showed that Indigenous Lands, including their overlaps with Protected Areas, harbor more stable and higher carbon stocks than private/public lands without protection and are as effective as Protected Areas. To further understand the diversity of governance systems in Protected Areas and incentives to avoid land-use emissions, Chapter 2 aimed to assess the effects of Protected Areas managed by Local Communities (i.e., Community Managed Protected Areas) on carbon stocks dynamics before and after the adoption of REDD+ programs. The results showed that Community Managed Protected Areas in Peten (Guatemala) and Acre (Brazil) effectively maintained carbon stocks and avoided land use emissions after REDD+ was implemented. Moreover, Community Managed Protected Areas' effectiveness in forest conservation was relative to private/public lands without protection and other PAs.Using remote sensing and participatory mapping, the last chapter delved into analyzing the spatial patterns of land use and values regarding nature in Indigenous Lands from Eastern Panama. Indigenous land use was more likely to cause disturbances than deforestation, and these land use changes were spatially and temporally restricted, bringing stability to forest cover. Furthermore, land use and, thus, forest cover stability were linked to a worldview that integrates diverse instrumental and relational values regarding nature in landscape management. Taken together, my thesis indicates that IPLC rely on a concentrated area for land use, usually accessible lands, allowing for forest core areas to remain stable both spatially and temporally. Thus, IPLC's forests at the neotropical scale represent a cornerstone for policies related to climate change mitigation, forest conservation, social wellbeing, and other nature's contributions to people.

520 $a La stabilite du couvert forestier et des stocks de carbone (c.-a-d. stabilite de l'ampleur, de l'etendue spatiale et de la longevite temporelle) est cruciale pour attenuer les effets du changement climatique, proteger la biodiversite, et fournir d'autres contributions de la nature aux populations. Dans les regions neotropicales, le sort des forets est fortement associe aux Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales qui habitent une partie considerable de ces ecosystemes depuis des decennies, voir des millenaires. Les Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales ont des visions u monde et des valeurs particulieres concernant la nature qui ont donne lieu a des processus de gestion active du paysage. En raison de cette influence inherente sur le paysage, les forets des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales ont ete definies comme des forets domestiques. Par ailleurs, les forets domestiques des peuples autochtones et des communautes locales ont ete l'objet d'interventions externes telles que la creation de Aires Protegees et d'incitations financieres pour la reduction des emissions dues a la deforestation et a la degradation (c.-a-d., REDD+). Etant donne la contribution potentielle des forets domestiques a l'attenuation du changement climatique et des autres contributions de la nature aux personnes, il est de la plus haute importance de comprendre l'interaction entre les visions du monde, les valeurs et la gestion inherentes des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales avec les interventions politiques externes. Des recherches precedentes aient ete menees sur l'effet des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales et des interventions politiques liees a la deforestation. Neanmoins, peu d'etudes ont explore l'influence inherente des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales sur les indicateurs de stabilite des forets. Pour combler ces lacunes, cette these vise a repondre a la question suivante : comment les regimes fonciers des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales, les incitations politiques externes et les valeurs locales influencent-ils la stabilite du couvert forestier et des stocks de carbone dans les regions neotropicales?Le deux premieres chapitres s'appuient sur la teledetection et des methodes quasiexperimentales pour estimer les effets des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales sur la conservation des forets. Concretement, le premier chapitre vise a estimer les effets temporels et spatiaux de trois regimes fonciers sur les stocks de carbone au Panama et dans quatre autres pays du bassin amazonien. Les resultats montrent que les Terres Autochtones, y compris lorsqu'ils chevauchent des Aires Protegees, montrent des stocks de carbone plus stables et plus eleves que les terres privees/publiques sans protection. De plus, ces terres soient aussi efficaces que les Aires Protegees. Pour mieux comprendre la diversite des systemes de gouvernance dans les Aires Protegees, et les incitations a eviter du aux emissions liees a l'utilisation des terres, le deuxieme chapitre vise a evaluer les effets des Aires Protegees gerees par les Communautes Locales sur la dynamique des stocks de carbone avant et apres l'adoption des programmes REDD+. Les resultats montrent que les Aires Protegees gerees par les communautes a Peten (Guatemala), et a Acre (Bresil), maintiennent efficacement les stocks de carbone et evitent les emissions liees a l'utilisation des terres apres la mise en oeuvre du programme REDD+. En outre, l'efficacite des zones protegees gerees par la communaute en matiere de conservation des forets etait relative aux terres privees/publiques sans protection et aux autres Aires Protegees.A l'aide de la teledetection et de la cartographie participative, le dernier chapitre a analyse les schemas spatiaux d'utilisation des terres et les valeurs concernant la nature dans les Terres Autochtones du Panama oriental. L'utilisation des terres autochtones etait plus predispose a entrainer des perturbations que la deforestation, et ces changements etaient spatialement et temporairement limites, apportant une stabilite a la couverture forestiere. En outre, l'utilisation des terres et, par consequent, la stabilite du couvert forestier etaient liees a une vision du monde qui integre diverses valeurs instrumentales et relationnelles concernant la nature dans la gestion du paysage. Dans l'ensemble, ma these indique que les Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales dependent d'une zone concentree pour l'utilisation des terres, generalement des terres accessibles, ce qui permet aux noyaux forestiers de rester stables tant spatialement comme temporellement. Ainsi, les forets domestiques des Peuples Autochtones et des Communautes Locales, a l'echelle neotropicale representent une pierre angulaire pour les politiques liees a l'attenuation du changement climatique, a la conservation des forets, au bien-etre social et d'autres contributions de la nature aux populations.
