Behind the headlines about the loss of tropical forests in Latin
America lies a complex and fascinating story of the social
pressures which cause it. Trees, People and Power looks at the
various groups, interests and conflicts involved, and explores the
repercussions for forestry, the environment and the livelihoods of
the rural and urban poor. Until the social and political dimensions
of deforestation and forest protection schemes are understood,
measures to prevent or slow deforestation are likely to involve
technical interventions which will prove ineffective in the long
run, and may well result in further impoverishment and
environmental degradation. Peter Utting takes a critical look at
the experience of forest protection and tree planting in a number
of countries and considers how social and political factors affect
the feasability of such schemes. Many environmental projects and
programmes have failed to balance concerns for the environment with
those of human welfare. Until they do, it is unrealistic to expect
any significant progress towards sustainable development. Peter
Utting is a senior researcher coordinator with the United Nations
Research Institute for Social Development. He is the author of
Economic Adjustment under the Sandinistas (UNRISD, 1991) and
Economic Reform and Third World Socialism (Macmillan, 1992).
