Description: Timber Production and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Rain Forests How timber production and tropical biodiversity conservation can be balanced. Andrew Grieser Johns (Author), Jeffrey Burley (Foreword by) 9780521607629, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 19 August 2004 248 pages 24.7 x 19 x 1.4 cm, 0.467 kg '… of great interest to people with an interest in tropical forest management and conservation.' Michelle A. Pinard, Commonwealth Forestry Review Timber production is often the most economic form of land use in areas of tropical forest: forest preservation is rarely so. The area of tropical forest reserved for timber production exceeds that of National Parks and other preserved areas by a ratio of at least 8:1. Although often poorly managed to date, production forests have the potential to support a high percentage of natural forest biodiversity. They have a vital role to play in conservation strategies. This book attempts to bridge the current gap between conservation requirements and commercial interests, indicating the possibilities for integrated management of tropical forests. The aim is to develop a justification and practical approach for the management of production forest as a supplement to totally-protected forest in the conservation of tropical biodiversity.
