Paper 3
Revise: Variations in Deforestation RatesLegal status and effective enforcement are different. A ban may reduce clearing where authorities can uphold it, but have much less effect where illegal operators continue to enter.
Explain a chain of causes: a change in mining activity, protection or enforcement changes the pressure to clear forest, so the rate rises or falls.
Do not assume that legal protection guarantees effective protection. Use enforcement and control of access to explain the difference.
