Does the Pressure of Population and Poverty cause Deforestation?
Abstract: Deforestation
has created several negative impacts
such as reducing biodiversity, de-creasing life support system and increasing
green house gases emission. Identifying the causes of deforestation is a key to
tackle this problem. Various studies have been con-ducted to investigate the
driver of deforestation in the world. Some experts believe that the pressure of
population and poverty cause deforestation. On the other hand, the others argue
that there is no relationship among the pressure of population, poverty and deforestation.
This paper tries to examine the link of pressure of population, poverty and deforestation
by reviewing some recent studies.
