Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted in the Teknaf Peninsula located the south-eastern corner of Bangladesh bordering Myanmar in order to elucidate the relationship between poverty and deforestation. Although the study area has been designated as a protected forest, deforestation has been continuously progressing. This study found that causes of deforestation in this area, among others, include illegal collection and selling of forest products by the poor segments of population in the surrounding area, and the encroachment of landless households into protected areas of forests, where they clear the forest and set up homesteads and agricultural fields for betel plants.
