This work assesses the issues facing biodiversity maintenance on
tropical islands, and the impacts of biodiversity loss. The
emphasis is on the Indo-West Pacific region, which includes many
small islands where the biodiversity is under threat as a result of
not only climate change and habitat destruction, but invasions by
organisms previously absent from an island. The contributors are
distinguished biodiversity scientists from inside and outside the
region, and cover topics ranging from the state of conservation
action in South-East Asia, the role of parks, and the status and
threat to endemics, to impacts of oil and gas exploration and
forest fragmentation. Issues needing still to be addressed,
especially in relation to implications of biodiversity loss or
change for the maintenance of ecosystem processes, are highlighted.
The conclusions and case studies have lessons for all involved in
the conservation of the biotas and ecosystems of islands.
