Abstract

As the level of concern for the natural environment increases, more and more studies attempt to understand the intricate relationship between livelihood issues and environmental concerns. As evidence emerges, these studies increasingly point out that environmental matters are associated with complex economic and social processes, as this article by Jare Struwig, Ben Roberts and Steven Gordon shows.
