In this chapter, we have reviewed how the puzzle of trees might be addressed by population,markets, political economy, and ethics. Is there room for an analysis or set of solutions to deforestation that relies on institutions, collective action, and common property theory?How are forests and deforestation a collective action problem? What would an institutionalsolution to forest-cover loss look like? What are the limits of viewing trees as commonproperty?

You are responsible for adding plants to park to make it nice and green, and your only concem is making as much Net Primary Productivity (NPP) as possible.
