Policy options related to roads in tropical forests by Kaimowitz, D.

“…Practically all countries now require environmental impact assessments for large road projects near forests but these are often of poor quality and lead to a few protective measures. On the other hand, it is neither feasible nor desirable to prohibit all new road projects near tropical forests as for many rural people who live near forests improving their access to markets and services is among their greatest aspirations and highest priorities. …”
