Summary "The Changing Village Environment in Southeast Asia follows the work of the Good Roots Project, which is based on the island of Luzon in the northern Philippines. The Good Roots Project is a multi-year forestry and agriculture research project and an attempt on the part of industry, government, and science to better understand the processes of deforestation and initiate a strategy by which stressed upland ecosystems can be returned to productive stability."--BOOK JACKET
