The impact of agricultural credit on the cattle inventory and deforestation in Colombia: A spatial analysis por Mejia Tejada, Daniela, Díaz Baca, Manuel Francisco, Enciso Valencia, Karen Johanna, Bravo Parra, Aura Maria, Florez, Jesus Fernando, Junca Paredes, John Jairo, Burkart, Stefan

“…Regarding deforestation, results show that, although the number of cattle present in a department does affect its annual deforestation rate due to a poor coverage of sustainably intensified cattle ranching systems, there is no relationship between deforestation and the access to credit nor any spatial correlations.…”

Deforestation and economics in Ecuador: a synthesis por Wunder, Sven

“…The deforestation cycle usually follows a composite economic rationale, based on wood extraction, agriculture and cattle ranching. Though a slower pace of deforestation seems rational for the Ecuadorian State, on the basis of precautionary considerations, substantial success in curbing forest loss can only be achieved when payments for global forest benefits are combined with effective conservation incentives on the ground. …”
