South-East Asia's Trembling Rainforests.
Laird, John
Our Planet, v3 n4 p4-8,10-11 1991
This discussion focuses on potential solutions to the degradation of rainforests in Southeast Asia caused by indiscriminate logging, inappropriate road-construction techniques, forest fires, and the encroachment upon watersheds by both agricultural concerns and peasant farmers. Vignettes illustrate the impact of this degradation upon the animals, the populations, and the legal systems. (MCO)
