Rural–urban migration can have both positive and negative environmental consequences for tropical forests. Rural residents exert pressure on the environment through farming, fishing, and forest extraction, yet conversely, protecting rural livelihoods is often the motivation for conserving large a...

We investigated sustainability of hunting in an Amazonian landscape mosaic, where a small human popu...
