Attraction point

  1. Each scenario was run in a simulated 50 km2 study area over 100,000 iterations
  2. aThe number of visits per month corresponds to a rural area with a human density of 10 individuals/km2, in which 20% of the population visits the forest once a month
  3. The number of plots used each month for forest logging corresponds to an area in which 10% of the total forest surface is logged each year
