How the Location of Roads and Protected Areas Affects Deforestation in North Thailand
Using plot-level data, the authors estimate a bi-variate probit model to explain land clearing, and the siting of protected areas in North Thailand in 1986. Their model suggests that protected areas (national parks, together with wildlife sanctuari...

description |
Using plot-level data, the authors
estimate a bi-variate probit model to explain land clearing,
and the siting of protected areas in North Thailand in 1986.
Their model suggests that protected areas (national parks,
together with wildlife sanctuaries) did not reduce the
likelihood of forest clearing, but wildlife sanctuaries may
have reduced the probability of deforestation. Road
building, by reducing the impedance-weighted distance to
market, has promoted clearing, especially near the forest
fringe. The authors stimulate the impact of further road
building to show where road building is likely to have the
greatest impact on forest clearing, and where it is likely
to threaten protected areas. |
