A view from the forest floor: the impact of logging on indigenous peoples in Brazil
Abstract
The social impact of the mahogany trade on the indigenous peoples of Brazil is described. Emphasis is placed on the violence directed against Indians and the consequences of the destruction of their environment which results from the trade. Also mentioned are the judicial issues regarding the illegal extraction of mahogany from protected areas and several of the court cases against logging companies. A moratorium on mahogany logging in Brazil is advocated as is the right of indigenous peoples to control their lands and resources as the way to conserve their environment.

The potential changes in NTFP harvests after timber extraction have received little attention.
“Although several studies provide important information regarding the social, economic, and ecological effects of logging (e.g., Uhl et al. 1991, Watson 1996), the potential changes in NTFP harvests after timber extraction have received little attention.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
