Economic crisis and forest cover change in Cameroon: the role of migration, crop diversification, and gender division labor by Sunderlin, William D., Pokam, J.

“…Among the key findings are that: (1) on average, population in the villages has grown considerably in response to inmigration, slowed rural to urban migration, and recent net “return” migration; (2) there has been a massive turn to production of food crops; (3) new food crop production tended to be at the expense of forest cover because many farmers retained their cocoa and coffee plots; (4) men are now highly involved in the production of food crops; and (5) the amount of forest clearing in 1996 was largely a function of increased food crop production and distance from the capital city. Policy efforts aimed at controlling inappropriate deforestation must recognize that macroeconomic conditions can have an important role in influencing migration, food crop choices, and gender division of labor, which in turn influence forest cover change.…”
