Abstract: Deforestation is one of the major environmental issues in developping countries and agricultural expansion is its first cause. Uqing the Forest Transition hypothesis, the aim of this paper is to improve the knowledge of the cumulative nature of deforestation. To do this, the macroeconomic factors which promote the end of the deforestation in a given country are highlighted. Then the total amount of deforestation during the development is explained.
