Principle land-use change
Xishuangbanna: Rapid conversion of lowland rainforest / shifting cultivation to monoculture rubber

Principle land-use change
Rubber is rapidly developing in other areas

Principle land-use change
Recent rapid clearance of upland forest for bananas

Problem
Reduction of forest cover and simplification of formerly multiuse
landscapes has led to an erosion of ecosystem services
Externalities are often borne by segments of society who have
benefited little from rubber income, causing increased disparities in
wealth and social unrest
