如果不能向热带农民提供可持续的土地使用制度，满足他们的生存需要，使他们继续从事有报酬的工作，热带森林将继续消失。我们研究了经济土地使用多样化的能力--将热带“荒地”的重新造林作为一项关键活动--以阻止农场一级的森林砍伐。我们的生态-经济概念是以厄瓜多尔南部Podocarpus国家公园缓冲区的土地使用数据为基础的，它表明，在10年后停止砍伐森林而不违反生存需求是可能的。热带地区农场层面的多样化不仅可以减少45%的森林砍伐总量，而且还可以增加65%的农民利润，因为以前没有生产力的荒地已经恢复到生产性土地使用。因此，我们得出结论，一个“双赢”的方案是可能的：人们的生存需求可以与保护目标相协调。然而，廉价的小额信贷（利率低于6%）和经验，
If tropical farmers cannot be provided with sustainable land-use systems, which address their subsistence needs and keep them gainfully employed, tropical forests will continue to disappear. We looked at the ability of economic land-use diversification – with reforestation of tropical “wastelands” as a key activity – to halt deforestation at the farm level. Our ecological–economic concept, based on land-use data from the buffer area of the Podocarpus National Park in southern Ecuador, shows that stopping deforestation after 10 years is possible without violating subsistence demands. Tropical, farm-level diversification may not only reduce total deforestation by 45%, but also increase farmers' profits by 65%, because the formerly unproductive wastelands have been returned to productive land use. We therefore conclude that a “win–win” scenario is possible: the subsistence needs of people can be reconciled with conservation objectives. However, inexpensive microcredits (at interest rates below 6%) and experi...
