Abstract: In a context of fast land changes due to human activity, the old “Malthus vs. Boserup” debate about human pressure on natural resources is more than ever a prevalent subject. We illustrate this debate with an example based on the Tuy Province in West Burkina Faso, which has known an important development these last fifteen years, as mainly observable in the major regression of its natural vegetation.
