Tropical rain forest is being cleared so rapidly and on such a scale that it is a major global environmental problem, threatening the survival of half of the world's plant and animal species and contributing to global climate change through the greenhouse effect. But, despite widespread concern for over twenty years, only limited progress has been made in controlling deforestation and improving forest management in the humid tropics. In this book Alan Grainger offers afresh analysis of the causes of deforestation and presents an integrated strategy for controlling it. His strategy embraces agriculture, forestry and conservation and stresses the need for changes in government policies if land use is to be made more sustainable and the underlying causes of the problem are to be addressed. Controlling Tropical Deforestation is essential reading for policy makers, agronomists, foresters, conservationists and development professionals. To general readers and students on introductory courses at schools and universities it also offers the first concise but comprehensive overview of the causes, scale and consequences of deforestation. Alan Grainger is a lecturer in geography at the University of Leeds. He is author of The Threatening Desert: Controlling Desertification, also published by Earthscan. Originally published in 1992

Avoided deforestation can be characterized as the use of financial incentives to reduce rates of deforestation and forest degradation, with much of the focus on forests in tropical countries. While avoided deforestation, as a policy issue, is not new, the current debate in academic and policy circles on including it in future climate change mitigation strategies such as the Clean Development Mechanism is gathering pace – and this debate is only likely to intensify as negotiations continue over what should be included in the successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol, which is set to expire in 2012. Up until now, however, the debate in terms of the scientific and economic implications of avoided deforestation has not been brought together. This book aims to bring together important research findings in the area along with their policy implications, whilst linking avoided deforestation to political economy as well as to the latest developments in environmental and natural resource economics.

Deforestation In Viet Nam written by Rodolphe de Koninck and has been published by IDRC this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with Deforestation categories.
This publication begins with an overview of the nature and magnitude of the deforestation problem in south-east Asia and the related problem of loss of biodiversity. Chapter 2 discusses the specific case of deforestation in Viet Nam and the possible factors involved. Chapter 3 describes the implementation of a research project on the fundamental and instrumental causes of that deforestation, with the hypothesis that agricultural expansion is the central instrument of deforestation in that country. This is followed by presentation of the results of the research, which focused on two provinces (Tuyen Quang and Lam Dong). Results presented and discussed include changes in land use, changes in population and its distribution, expansion of settlement, the impact of firewood collection and commercial logging, agricultural impacts, and changes in biodiversity. The final chapter discusses the magnitude of the challenge of deforestation in Viet Nam and suggests directions for further research.

Forests are essential to human and animal survival. Trees produce the oxygen animals need to live. They also provide homes for animals and resources for people. However, Earth's forests are under attack. Deforestation is caused by fires, clear cutting, logging, and climate change. Forests are important to mitigating climate change because they suck up harmful carbon dioxide. Without forests, many plant and animal species would be at risk of becoming endangered or extinct. Complete with manageable text and stunning photographs of forests, both healthy and threatened, this book covers essential concepts featured in elementary earth science curricula.
