Originally published in 1988 Deforestation examines deforestation
as a major environmental and development problem. It examines the
issues of forests being cut in tropical and mountain areas, and how
acid rain, pollution and disease wreak havoc in temperate zones.
Some of the worst effects of deforestation have been changes in the
world's climate system, erosion and flooding, desertification, wood
short-ages and the disappearance of some floral and fauna species.
This book challenges the belief that deforestation is due to
entirely rapid population growth and agricultural expansion and
emphasises the effects of commercial exploitation and poor planning
and management. In concludes with a programme for reforestation
using agro-forestry, appropriate cottage industries, improved
international programmes, local land reforms and community
participation.
