This major work offers a detailed case study into the dynamics of
forest use, degradation and loss in Northeast Luzon, Philippines.
Following an interdisciplinary approach, the study charts the
degradation and loss of forest cover in this area between 1950 and
1990 and relates it to the social and political context of logging,
forest migration and changes in upland agriculture. This represents
a major contribution to knowledge both in the field of Philippine
studies and in relation to deforestation, environmental change,
political ecology and development. Based on 10 years of research,
five of which in the Sierra Madre region, the author introduces us
to the actions, livelihood options and motives of all the principal
groups of actors. Using a stimulating and fascinating balance
between systematic survey data and the qualitative reporting of
conversations with these key actors, this book offers a compelling
insight into the long history of national, regional and local
outsiders gaining access to the natural resources and lands of this
last large forest frontier in the Philippines. This title falls in
the category of Environmental Studies, Sociology, Anthropology,
Politics, and Philippines. It is suitable for academic researchers
and post-graduate students.
