Document Summary
But usually doesn"t result in complete deforestation. For quite a few species, we don"t see huge effects. Primary, once, twice logged are giving the same sa curves. Most deforestation driven by land conversion (to agriculture) In both cases, deforestation rates of tree-cover loss have leveled off. Big global picture of deforestation being shifted to other places. Wide diversity of areas are making up difference. How do they get numbers that say every few minutes so much forest is lost . Might not be able to pick up deforestation from partial logging. Might not have capacity to give the right numbers and also might not give the right numbers even if they have it. If people have low economic status can"t have much impact on forest as they get some wealth, might have more impact (buying chainsaws) But if economically-developed enough might invest in environmental services + conservation.
