Population and Deforestation in Humid Tropics

While many other environmental problems cry for a need for data and better scientific analysis, these needs are most urgent for the topic discussed in this monograph. Four components are needed for an integrated and balanced policy. They are:, Improvement in the Quality of Life; Attention to Population Dynamics and Policies; Good Forest and Land Management Policies; and Attention to Measures at the Regional, National and International Level.
