Forests Affected as Hideouts and Refuges
Year:
2009
Author:
Philippe Rekacewicz assisted by Cecile Marin, Agnes Stienne, Guilio Frigieri, Riccardo Pravettoni, Laura Margueritte and Marion Lecoquierre.
Description:
Around the world, conflicts and
wars are, directly and indirectly,
taking a toll on forests and the communities
that rely on them
for their livelihood. Dense forests in
remote areas provide
safe haven for refugees fleeing from
conflict, which can result in overexploitation
of forest resources.
