This book highlights key results and lessons learnt from two field
sites, La Suerte in Costa Rica and Ometepe Nicaragua. It provides
long term data on species abundance and distribution. Primates
receive specific attention in this book, as they are flagship
species and good indicators for the "health" of an ecosystem, but
as well a money maker. Many primate species are sensitive to
habitat alteration, and are often hunted out first. But they play
an important role as seed dispersal agents for the regeneration of
the forest. The book then compares results from the two field sites
with regional trends, and explores potential solutions such as
REDD+. This book strongly calls for new approaches in conservation,
it makes the case for looking beyond the pure species biology and
classic conservation angle and to take into account the economic
and political realities.
