Deforestation in the Philippines: An analysis of factors encouraging or inhibiting forest loss

Abstract

The historical decline in forest cover in the Philippines appears to be tapering off, following the pattern seen in temperate countries in the past. After summarizing the history of deforestation in the country, the paper proposes a political economy model which can be used to explain this general trend, and then tests it by applying it to the history of deforestation in the Philippines during the twentieth century.
