description Tropical deforestation continues at an unsustainable pace of 13 million hectares annually. The depletion exacerbates global environmental issues such as global warming, and extinction of endangered species. In response, the international community has implemented a few intervention schemes across tropical countries. These interventions now beg the question - has anything changed about the status of tropical forests? This is the question that this study attempts to address. Employing data available from 1994-2004, our empirical estimations depart from earlier studies by revealing that investments aimed at diversifying tropical economies offer the most sustainable avenue to tropical forest conservation. More interestingly, this study reveals that labor force growth rate does not necessarily translate to increased deforestation as claimed by earlier studies.
