| Abstract | This report provides input to those decisions in the form of empirical information about trade-offs and commentaries among development goals. It does so with a focus on tropical moist forests in agricultural frontier areas, using data from in-depth fieldwork in study sites in the western Brazilian Amazon. There, as elsewhere, tropical moist forests continue to fall, with clearing driven in part by demand for agricultural land. |
