Cross-Border Environmental and Ecological Protection

Abstract: Abstract Three elements have been among the leading sources of environmental damage in recent decades: population growth, economic growth driven by highly polluting manufacturing industries and industries that are powered by non-renewable forms of energy. Without new incentives and opportunities, the rapidly growing population of most developing countries, with its increasing demand for energy and food, will accelerate the deforestation and transformation of forestland and wetland into cropland. But fragile ecosystems can only exacerbate the vicious circle of poverty.
