This article demonstrates how the widespread environmental destruction occurring in Central America is linked to the pattern of agricultural development that has taken place in the region. After presenting a critique of the major paradigms used to analyze environmental problems in the 3rd World the study combines a political economy approach with the concerns of regional ecology to examine the interactions among social processes demographic trends production decisions and environmental decline in southern Honduras. The major conclusions are that the motivation for natural resource exploitation arises from the fundamental structure of society and that the social demographic and ecological patterns identified for southern Honduras are widespread throughout Central America.
