5. www.gfoi.org SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th -6 th September 2013 Drivers of Deforestation One of the main drivers of deforestation is the expansion of the agriculture in frontier areas. For the two periods 1990-2000 and 2000- 2008 the 99.4% of changes were found in the conversion of forest to agricultural land. Powered by monoculture like oil palm an sugar cane.
