The potential for species conservation in tropical secondary forests.
In the wake of widespread loss of old-growth forests throughout the tropics, secondary forests will likely play a growing role in the conservation of forest biodiversity. We considered a complex hierarchy of factors that interact in space and time to determine the conservation potential of tropical secondary forests. Beyond the characteristics of local forest patches, spatial and temporal lands...
متن کاملQuantifying the biodiversity value of tropical primary, secondary, and plantation forests.
Biodiversity loss from deforestation may be partly offset by the expansion of secondary forests and plantation forestry in the tropics. However, our current knowledge of the value of these habitats for biodiversity conservation is limited to very few taxa, and many studies are severely confounded by methodological shortcomings. We examined the conservation value of tropical primary, secondary, ...
متن کاملHunting for sustainability in tropical secondary forests.
The interaction between land-use change and the sustainability of hunting is poorly understood but is critical for sustaining hunted vertebrate populations and a protein supply for the rural poor. We investigated sustainability of hunting in an Amazonian landscape mosaic, where a small human population had access to large areas of both primary and secondary forest. Harvestable production of mam...
متن کاملThe mystery of nocturnal birds in tropical secondary forests
As tropical logging increases in scope, understanding the capacity of tropical secondary forests for sustaining oldgrowth (OG) forest biodiversity has become a critical question in tropical conservation. There is growing realization that tropical conservation cannot be limited to pristine habitats in protected areas (Sekercioglu et al., 2007; Chazdon et al., 2009). To better integrate secondary...
متن کاملNatural Forest Management and Conservation of Biodiversity in Tropical Forests
As a reaction to the continued dwindling of tropical forest resources, many research and development organizations have turned to the idea of natural forest management in the hope of making tropical forest lands more profitable while maintaining biodiversity. Assertions of sustainability in logging practices have been inadequately supported, however. We begin with a review of the present knowle...
