Greater Mekong Subregion

"Deforestation[edit]

[edit]

The GMS was one of the world's most densely forested areas in the 1970s, but has since lost a third of its forests. It is on a trajectory that will lose it another third between 2010–2030."

Outline for the section:

  1. Longer background on the "world's most densely forested areas in the 1970s"
  2. Causes of the deforestation
  3. Effects of the deforestation
  4. Current mitigation efforts and policy initiatives

    • This is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, so it should be a reliable source. This source provides scientific background on the issue which might be helpful in covering all bases.

    • This source is a policy brief written by the FAO, so it should be a reliable and relatively balanced source. It provides a good overview of information on the topic. However, it is a bit outdated so I am hoping to find a newer version. This source can be used in my discussion of the causes of deforestation in the Mekong region.

    • This is a peer-reviewed journal, so it should be a reliable source. The content is of interest because it describes health impacts of deforestation, which relates to climate change. This will be included in my discussion of effects of deforestation.

    • This is not a reputable source for statistics or hard information, but its discussion of the app can be used as a supporting feature of the Wikipedia entry. I will include this in my discussion of mitigation methods of today.

    • This source provides strong data to inform readers. I can use this source to lay out basic information and statistics.
