- Abstract
- Tropical deforestation is the subject of heated debate. This article examines the relationship between small-holder agriculture and ecological destruction in Ecuador's Amazonia. Poverty, unequal land distribution, low agricultural productivity, and misguided government policies are all causes of deforestation, argues the author. Tropical deforestation in Ecuador will continue at an alarming rate unless the economic incentives encouraging deforestation are removed.
