DESCRIPTION:The European Union designates 26% of its landmass as a protect
 ed area\, limiting economic development to favor biodiversity. This paper 
 uses the staggered introduction of protected-area policies between 1985 an
 d 2020 to study the selection of land for protection and the causal effect
  of protection on vegetation cover and nightlights. Our results reveal pro
 tection did not affect the outcomes in any meaningful way across four deca
 des\, all countries\, protection cohorts\, and a wide range of land and cl
 imate attributes. We conclude that European conservation efforts lack ambi
 tion because policymakers select land for protection not threatened by dev
 elopment.\nSpeakers:\nArthur van Benthem (Wharton Pennsylvania University)
