We acknowledge the Brazilian farmer associations in Machadinho D'Oeste and associates in
the Center for Development and Regional Planning (CEDEPLAR) and Center for Remote Sensing
(CSR), Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). The Brazilian National Council for Scientific
and Technological Research (CNPq), the Teresa Heinz Scholars for Environmental Research pro-
gram, the Rural Sociological Society (RSS), and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF, Brazil) provided
major financial support. At Cornell University, project sponsors included Cornell International
Institute for Food, Agriculture, and Development (CIIFAD), Department of Crop and Soil Sciences,
Department of Development Sociology and Graduate Field of Development Sociology, Einaudi
Center for International Studies, Latin American Studies Program (LASP), Institute for Resource
Information Systems (IRIS), and the Population Development Program (PDP). In addition, the
Tropical Rain Forest Information Center (TRFIC) at Michigan State University provided the satellite
imagery without which this study would not have been possible.
