The destruction of tropical forests is intimately intertwined
with the fate of the rural poor who rely on this resource for their
livelihood. "Conservation of Neotropical Forests" provides
important information for understanding the interactions of forest
peoples and forest resources in the lowland tropics of Central and
South America. This interdisciplinary study features experts from
both the natural and social sciences to illuminate the present
dilemma of conserving neotropical resources. These contributors --
who are responsible for some of the most promising work in cultural
and biodiversity conservation -- investigate the patterns of
traditional resource use, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of
existing research, and explore innovative directions for furthering
the interdisciplinary conservationist agenda.
