Sharing Research Data to Improve Public Health: A Funder Perspective
Through the Public Health Research Data Forum, global health research funders are working together to increase the availability of public health and epidemiology research data in ways that are equitable, ethical, and efficient. The Wellcome Trust funded the research reported in this special edition as a first step toward building an evidence base on the perspectives of research stakeholders in low- and middle-income countries on the benefits and …
Fertility and the environment in a natural resource dependent economy: Evidence from Petén, Guatemala
This paper examines potential relations between factors related to fertility and the access to and use of natural resources in Petn, Guatemala. The Petn forms the heart of the Selva Maya, the largest lowland humid forest in Mesoamerica. The rapid in-migration of subsistence maize farmers has converted much of the Petn's forests to agricultural fields. Population dynamics have been transformed in that virtually all farm families have arrived since…
Population, Rural Development, and Land Use Among Settler Households in an Agricultural Frontier in Guatemala’s Maya Biosphere Reserve
Guatemala was among the world’s leaders in deforestation during the 1990s at a rate of 2% per annum. Much of Guatemala’s recent forest loss has occurred in the emerging agricultural frontiers of the Maya Biosphere Reserve (MBR), the heart of the largest contiguous tropical forest in Central America—La Selva Maya. This paper presents data from 241 heads of households and 219 partners of household heads from a geographically stratified sample of ei…

Migration Within the Frontier: The Second Generation Colonization in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Migration to the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala: Why Place Matters
Virtually all migration research examines international migration or urbanization. Yet understudied rural migrants are of critical concern for environmental conservation and rural sustainable development. Despite the fact that a relatively small number of all migrants settle remote rural frontiers, these are the agents responsible for perhaps most of the tropical deforestation on the planet. Further, rural migrants are among the most destitute pe…
Population and deforestation: Why rural migration matters
This paper reviews the state of knowledge and develops a conceptual model for researching frontier migration in the developing world with a focus on Latin America. Since only a small fraction of migrants move to forest frontiers, identifying people and place characteristics associated with this phenomenon could usefully inform policies aimed at forest conservation and rural development. Yet population scholars train their efforts on urban and int…
Farm Households and Land Use in a Core Conservation Zone of the Maya Biosphere Reserve, Guatemala
Population and Environment
The interactions between human population dynamics and the environment have often been viewed mechanistically. This review elucidates the complexities and contextual specificities of population-environment relationships in a number of domains. It explores the ways in which demographers and other social scientists have sought to understand the relationships among a full range of population dynamics (e.g., population size, growth, density, age and …
