Eradicating poverty is one of the highest priorities of development policies. Besides the necessary improvement of peoples livelihoods, the reduction of poverty is believed to have a positive effect on the stability of the rainforest margins. Better-off households are furthermore less vulnerable to shocks caused by natural hazards.
