Part III is dedicated to societal aspects, examining the consequences of human activity such as cultivation, eco-tourism, resource utilization, and deforestation, while also analyzing the impact of forest degradation on forest-dependent communities. Part IV focuses on mitigation strategies, highlighting the role of protected areas, governance, policies, and participatory approaches.
