Zusammenfassung:The 1970s can be considered one of the watersheds in Philipine economic history. Among other things, it ushered in a process of debt accumulation which contributed to the much publicized financial and political crisis of the 1980s. This period also coincided with the continued loss of forest cover, aggravating the existing related problems of dwindling timber resources and ecological imbalance. The paper explores the nature and causes of the problem as well as some of the issues which need to be confronted over the short and period term. It delves into the role of different agents, i.e., the state, loggers and upland residents in deforestation. (DÜI-Sen)
