Rethinking the Causes of Deforestation : Lessons from Economic Models

By Angelsen, Arild

Description
Economics

Excerpt
Concern is rising about the adverse consequences of tropical deforestation. The loss of forest cover influences the climate and contributes to a loss of biodiversity. Reduced timber supplies, siltation, flooding, and soil degradation affect economic activity and threaten the livelihoods and cultural integrity of forest-dependent people. Tropical rain forests, which constitute about 41 percent of the total tropical forest cover, are considered the richest and most valuable ecosystem on the earth?s land surface. During the 1980s about 15.4 million hectares of tropical forests were lost each year, according to estimates by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO 1992). From 1990 to 1995 the annual loss was estimated at 12.7 million hectares (FAO 1997), but it is unclear whether this reduction represents a slowdown in actual forest clearance or new definitions and better data.
