Résumé :	Rainforest destruction is now recognised as one of the greatest environmental tragedies of all time. But why are thee forests disappearing so rapidly ? Contrary to orthodox belief, it is not the poor who are responsable. Rather, the twin prongs of 'mordernisation' and commercial interests (backed by aid money and bank loans) are devastating tropical forests througgh logging mining dams, road and agriculture projects and colonisation schemes. This book provides a cogent analysis of the causes and effects of deforestation, from the viewpoint of the leading environmental groups involved in the defense of the forests. It also points out that the "solutions" proposed by established institutions like the World Bank and the timber trade accelerate (and not reduce) deforestation.
