Deforestation in Latin America and the Caribbean
A 1% increase in the price of timber increases deforestation by 1.1% and malaria cases by up to 0.124% over time.
Un aumento del 1% en el precio internacional de la madera provoca un aumento del 1,1% en la deforestación, que se correlaciona con un aumento del 0,042% en los casos de malaria. Tras varios años de deforestación, este efecto aumenta hasta el 0,124%.

Deforestation and corruption
The 4% of the forest lost in Brazil since 2004 is attributed to an increase in deforestation between 8% and 10% in election years when mayors seek re-election.
Las tasas de deforestación en Brasil aumentan del 8 al 10 % en los años electorales cuando un alcalde en ejercicio se postula para la reelección, una cantidad equivalente al 4% del bosque total perdido desde las elecciones de 2004.
