Abstract
⺠Deforestation took place at an annual rate of 1146 km2 during 1896-1949. ⺠During 1980-2000 the rate is much lower at 419 km2 due to natural regeneration. ⺠Deforested areas shifted to higher and steeper grounds over the years. ⺠The main causes of deforestation are demand for timber until 1980. ⺠Land reclamation for farming and urbanisation caused recent deforestation.
