She has examined these themes in the context of national payment for ecosystem services programs in Mexico, cacao agroforestry systems in biosphere reserve buffer zones in Panama and Costa Rica, and coffee sustainability certification programs in El Salvador. Shapiro has published broadly on topics of conservation and development in both academic and applied fora.
