Remote-Sensing Evidence about National Deforestation Rates in Developing Countries : What can Be Learned from the Last Decade

Résumé

In the present article, I review the literature about the determinants of deforestation (with a focus on developing countries) and shows descriptive statistics of recent deforestation (2000 − 12), using newly released and globally available high resolution remote sensing data on forest loss. I assess recent trends in deforestation to discuss global policy choices and orient international conservation policies. I also address the requirements for a cost-effective REDD + policy, compensating trade losses in an open economy exporting agricultural commodities and endowed with tropical forests. Finally, I discuss the challenges of its implementation with a focus on additionality and the effects of international trade and global demand.
