Publisher's Note
The vanishing of the rain forest haunts our imagination, and we urgently need to understand the root causes of a global environmental crisis. In this hardhitting, scrupulously researched book, ecologists Vandermeer and Perfecto look beyond the simplistic, blame-the-victim explanations to show exactly why biodiversity is in such jeopardy around the world and what steps must be taken to slow the ravaging of rain forests.

Industry Reviews
"Rain forest destruction affects us all and, as this book shows, is caused by forces far outside the forests. 'Free' markets and capital combine to deprive peasants and indigenous peoples of their lands. The solution is land and food security for the poor."
Colchester

"In this clear-sighted book...linking economics, politics, and sociology and the most up-to-date work in rain forest biology, Vandermeer and Perfecto help bring into focus a realistic and fruitful vision: one which places land security and ecological agriculture at its center, and in which 'nature conservation' is both constantly being redefined by, and becomes the consequence of grassroots struggles for democracy. This is one of the best short books on the rain forest crisis."
Publisher catalog - Larry Lohmann
