Factores que intervienen en la deforestación, en los departamentos de Caquetá, Antioquia, Meta, Guaviare y Putumayo de 2012-2016.

Abstract

This study seeks to identify the factors that significantly intervene in the change of vegetation cover presented in the departments ofCaquetá, Antioquia, Meta, Guaviare, and Putumayo, delimiting this analysis in a time range between (2012-2016), years in which deforestation in these departments was the most representative in the country. In this sense to better understand how deforestation leads not only to the loss of vegetation cover, but to everything that this loss brings with it, such as several ecological and environmental imbalances, and results in the decrease of habitat and biodiversity, climate change, soil degradation among others and as the leading cause of deforestation continues to be the intervention of man in these territories. We were applying an econometric model of panel-type data that helps us to visualize better the behavior of the variables about deforestation in these five departments in the stipulated period and to be able to conclude according to the results obtained to be able to discriminate if what we see is related to the figures obtained.
