Environmental Economics Question

/in /by

I need help in the question below. No more than 350 words. Please APA CITE all your information.

What is the global trend regarding the amount of forest cover over the past 100 years or so (try to find actual numbers such as acres, sq. km)?

What is the long-term trend the United States? What is the long-term trend in the Brazilian Amazon? Use scholarly (reputable) sources to answer this question.

This is important. PLEASE Use principles of economics (especially property rights, benefits vs. costs) to discuss the major causes of deforestation in the Amazon. Do not confuse the symptoms with the actual cause(s).
