DEFORESTATION IN THE TROPICS : RECONCILING DISPARITIES IN ESTIMATES FOR INDIA

Shaily Menon, Kamaljit S. Bawa

Open full text 46 citations

Abstract

Here we examine recent disparate estimates of deforestation obtained for India. We discuss the sources of disparity and the implications of inaccurate estimates and suggest ways in which future attempts at estimating deforestation might reconcile the disparity. Despite the importance of deforestation and its consequences, no attempt has been made to reconcile the different estimates obtained for India.
