Deforestation and forest degradation: impacts, mapping and preventions -- Contents -- Preface -- Part 1: Deforestation Impacts -- Chapter 1: The Climatic Effects of Deforestation in South and Southeast Asia -- Chapter 2: Impact of Deforestation on the Sustainability of Biodiversity in the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor -- Chapter 3: Impacts of Deforestation on Climate and Water Resources in Western Amazon -- Chapter 4: Deforestation Dynamics: A Review and Evaluation of Theoretical Approaches and Evidence from Greece -- Chapter 5: Deforestation and Water Borne Parasitic Zoonoses -- Chapter 6: Landslides Caused Deforestation -- Chapter 7: Dinaric Karst – An Example of Deforestation and Desertification of Limestone Terrain -- Part 2: Mapping Deforestation -- Chapter 8: Sustainable Forest Management Techniques -- Chapter 9: Remnant Vegetation Analysis of Guanabara Bay Basin, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Using Geographical Information System -- Chapter 10: Geospatial Analysis of Deforestation and Land Use Dynamics in a Region of Southwestern Nigeria -- Chapter 11: Unsupervised Classification of Aerial Images Based on the Otsu’s Method -- Chapter 12: Bunjil Forest Watch a Community-Based Forest Monitoring Service -- Chapter 13: Deforestation and Waodani Lands in Ecuador: Mapping and Demarcation Amidst Shaky Politics -- Part 3: Preventing Deforestation -- Chapter 14: Preserving Biodiversity and Ecosystems: Catalyzing Conservation Contagion -- Chapter 15: Agroforestry Systems and Local Institutional Development for Preventing Deforestation in Chiapas, Mexico -- Chapter 16: Efficiency of the Strategies to Prevent and Mitigate the Deforestation in Costa Rica -- Chapter 17: Economic Models of Shifting Cultivation: A Review -- List of Contributors.

The impacts, mapping and preventions of deforestation and forest degradation have been elucidated in this profound book. Forest degradation and deforestation constitute a considerable fraction of human-induced emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere across the globe every year, which is a primary cause of the loss of biodiversity and devastation of homes of millions of people. Regardless of local/regional causes, its impact is global. The book also includes analysis of the effects and causes of deforestation and the actions required for avoiding it along with a fundamental description about deforestation dynamics across the planet. Emphasis has been laid on distinct remote-sensing and mapping methodologies that could be employed as a tool for promoting forest conservation and preventing deforestation
