| Title | | | | Population Dynamics and the Assessment of Land Use Changes and Deforestation |
|
| Author | | | | Rudi Drigo and Alain Marcoux |
|
| Abstract | | | | Paper explores links between population and deforestation in tropical countries. They highlight
the need for "analysing population-deforestation linkages at several geographical levels in order
to combine complementary angles of analysis and thus avoid misconceptions and
simplifications". Paper addresses:
1. Population density and forest cover
1.1 Population and deforestation: statistical correlation
1.2 A case study of the Brazilian Amazon
2. Population and land use changes in tropical countries
2.1 The assessment of land use changes through remote sensing
2.2 Role of population factors in land use changes
2.3 Environmental impact of different population groups
Annex 1: Estimating the forest change model
Annex 2: Regional biomass flux diagrams" |
