After the Forest: AIDS as Ecological Collapse in Thailand.

Usher, Ann Danaiya

Development Dialogue, n1-2 p12-49 1992

The steady degradation of Thailand's forests is related to the emergence of AIDS in the same period. Environmental erosion and the unraveling of rural cultures founded on particular ecosystems are among the pressures that force young people to leave villages and enter the sex industry, exposing them to AIDS.
