本文件审查了发展中国家贫穷与自然资源退化之间的复杂关系。农村穷人往往集中在环境脆弱或不太有利的地区。因此，他们的生计可能密切依赖于自然资源的使用和生态系统服务。贫困与自然资源退化之间的关系可能取决于穷人可以作出的一系列复杂的选择和权衡，在没有资本、劳动力和土地市场的情况下，这些选择和权衡会受到他们获得外部就业机会和任何自然资源禀赋的影响。本文开发了一个贫困与环境模型来描述其中一些联系，并在结论中讨论了政策影响和进一步研究的途径。
This paper examines the complex relationship that exists between poverty and natural resource degradation in developing countries. The rural poor are often concentrated in fragile, or less favorable, environmental areas. Consequently, their livelihoods can be intimately dependent on natural resource use and ecosystem services. The relationship between poverty and natural resource degradation may depend on a complex range of choices and tradeoffs available to the poor, which in the absence of capital, labor, and land markets, is affected by their access to outside employment and any natural resource endowments. The paper develops a poverty-environment model to characterize some of these linkages, and concludes by discussing policy implications and avenues for further research.
