The study looked at how men and women in the Ecuadorian Amazon move to different areas, like rural or urban places, and how this affects deforestation. They found that men tend to move to rural areas more, while women tend to move to urban areas. Factors like access to new land and economic conditions influence where people choose to move. Women are more likely to move to urban areas when they are younger, while men are more likely to move to rural areas for work. This migration can impact deforestation in the Amazon.
