Tropical forests are disappearing at an unaltered pace, giving way to alternative land uses. Following a survey of different deforestation definitions, theories and empirical evidence, a case-study of Ecuador provides a versatile historical picture of factors affecting forest loss throughout different periods, regions and ecosystems.

An analysis of the impact of oil wealth on tropical deforestation in South America, Africa and Asia. This book takes a much more analytical approach than the usual fare of environmental studies and focuses on economies as a whole.
