Deforestation - Social Dynamics in Watersheds and Mountain Ecosystems (Paperback): J Ives, D. C. Pitt Deforestation - Social Dynamics in Watersheds and Mountain Ecosystems (Paperback)
J Ives, D. C. Pitt
R1,096 Discovery Miles 10 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.
