Part of the Biology and Resource Management Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Neotropical forests sustain a wealth of biodiversity, provide a wide range of ecosystem services and products, and support the livelihoods of millions of people.
But is forest management a viable conservation strategy in the tropics?
Supporters of sustainable forest management have promoted it as a solution to problems of both biodiversity protection and economic stagnation.
Detractors insist that any conservation strategy short of fully protected status is a waste of resources and that forest management actually hastens deforestation.
By focusing on a set of critical issues and case studies, this book explores the territory between these positions, highlighting the major factors that contribute to or detract from the chances of achieving forest conservation through sustainable management.
