Deforestation in the tropics: reconciling disparities in estimates for India

Article Abstract:

Sustainable development in India is complicated by intense environmental and economic pressures. While the country's growing population demands increasing use of land for agriculture, the resulting deforestation threatens the region's diverse flora and fauna. Reconciliation between these two pressures can be achieved through consistent monitoring methodologies that assess deforestation and regeneration rates.

Linking national agrarian policy to deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon: a case study of Tambopata, 1986-1997

Article Abstract:

Research on deforestation rates and levels in Tambopata, Peru, indicate that guaranteed markets and rural credit offered to farmers between 1986 and 1991 produced the highest rates and levels of deforestation in the region. When adjustment measures were enacted between 1991 and 1997, these rates and levels slowed.
