【 摘 要 】

Deforestation captures most of the headlines, but there are also processes of forest expansion that are widespread in Latin America. This paper explores why this process is so invisible and some of the theories that have been used to understand woodland recovery. The article then examines a series of case studies. Globalization plays an increasingly important role in structuring rural economies. This paper analyzes how global integration of many types, ranging from remittances, state transfers, skilling, markets, and ideologies of identity and territoriality produced forest recovery in peasant landscapes.
