Summary:

Le constat de l'irréversible destruction des forêts tropicales et de la biodiversité masquerait-il une grande diversité de situations? Fondé sur les travaux de chercheurs en sciences de la nature et en sciences sociales, ce livre tente de répondre à des questions fondamentales: qu'est-ce que la déforestation et comment la mesurer, quels changements induit-elle et comment les sociétés humaines les gèrent-elles? Il analyse les divers aspects de la déforestation, processus dont les effets ne sont pas toujours aussi négatifs que ce que l'on croit.
