1. 16. Trade-offs between land conservation and agricultural production: Case study of the Spanish Lookout area and the Belize Maya Forest Reserve

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Sociologi

   Författare :Tomas Castro Rojas; [2022]
   Nyckelord :LULUCF; agriculture; deforestation frontiers; remote sensing; biodiversity; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Habitat destruction (evidenced in land use change) represents one of the biggest threats to environmental resources and biodiversity. In the tropics, this threat is maximized as deforestation frontiers have expanded into natural ecosystems at increasing rates over the last decades for agricultural cropping and livestock husbandry.
