Focusses on the humans who regularly inhabit severely damaged forest areas, offering a variety of opinions rather than purely the negative effects of the locals who "slash and burn" the forests. This book touches on themes of biological and forest ecology, and forest history as well as other areas.

While many studies of tropical deforestation neglect the indigenous people of the forests, this book illuminates the insights local people have into conservation of their ecosystems, the effects of habitation on those ecosystems, and the impact of development and natural resource depletion on their lives. The authors present fresh perspectives on deforestation from a wide range of fields including biological ecology, forest history, conservation biology, anthropology, political economy, and development economics. The book covers Central and South America, Africa, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Indian subcontinent.

LESLIE E. SPONSEL is professor of anthropology at the University of Hawaii. THOMAS N. HEADLAND teaches at the University of Texas, Arlington. ROBERT C. BAILEY is professor of anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
