Summary
In this report the principal theme is that if property rights are properly defined and respected, and if both the poor and more affluent people are better informed about the consequences of their actions, poor people would suffer less from or cause less environmental degradation. Those poor groups with no property rights on land or natural resources are more likely to become victims of environmental degradation caused by others.
