Deforestation is a process where forested areas are cleared, often for agriculture, urban expansion, or industrial use, leading to significant economic, social, and environmental consequences. In the framework of ecological economics, which integrates ecological constraints and sustainability into economic analysis, deforestation is considered not only a private cost issue but also one with significant external costs. Marginal External Cost (MEC) refers to the additional cost imposed on society that is not borne by the individual or firm causing the deforestation. It reflects the negative externalities that arise from forest loss, including biodiversity decline, carbon emissions, soil erosion, disruption of water cycles, and social impacts on local communities. A relevant case study to illustrate the MEC of deforestation can be drawn from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. The Amazon, often called the "lungs of the Earth," is a critical carbon sink and a biodiversity hotspot. Local farmers and large agribusinesses often clear forests for cattle ranching and soybean cultivation. The private cost of deforestation includes expenses related to land clearing, labor, machinery, and immediate productivity gains from agriculture.
