Proximate Causes and Underlying Driving Forces of Tropical DeforestationTropical forests are disappearing as the result of many pressures, both local and regional, acting in various combinations in different geographical locations.

Paper doi abstract bibtex © 2002 American Institute of Biological SciencesOne of the primary causes of global environmental change is tropical deforestation, but the question of what factors drive deforestation remains largely unanswered (NRC 1999). Various hypotheses have produced rich arguments, but empirical evidence on the causes of deforestation continues to be largely based on cross-national statistical analyses (Bilsborrow 1994, Brown and Pearce 1994, Williams 1994, Painter and Durham 1995, Sponsel et al. 1996, Murali and Hedge 1997, Rudel and Roper 1997, Fairhead and Leach 1998). In some cases, these analyses are based on debatable data on rates of forest cover change (Palo 1999). The two major, mutually exclusive—and still unsatisfactory—explanations for tropical deforestation are single-factor causation and irreducible complexity. On the one hand, proponents of single-factor causation suggest various primary causes, such as shifting cultivation (Amelung and Diehl...
