This book offers to a wide readership the opportunity to
understand, consider and plan strategies that aim to conserve
forest ecosystems across the world. This book presents ten chapters
written by renowned researchers from Brazil, Argentina, Tunisia and
Germany, offering to the scientific community as well as to human
society as a whole important concepts, methods and gaps that we
need to fill if we wish to preserve Earths forests.The authors
begin this collection by demonstrating how rare tree species could
be a surrogate for biodiversity in conservation decision-making
(Chapter One). Sustainable management of biodiversity in woody
ecosystems is the theme of Chapter Two, followed by an interesting
synthesis and discussion on challenges for conservation of forests
and Brazilian reptiles (Chapter Three). Prioritization of areas for
permanent preservation for forest recovery aiming at landscape
connectivity (Chapter Four), conservation of Aleppo pine forests
for post flood and fire plantings (Chapter Five), agroforestry and
its connections to REDD+ activities in the Amazon (Chapter Six),
forest conservation and its challenges in tropical Africa (Chapter
Seven), large dams in the Amazon and their effects on the fauna
(Chapter Eight) and selection and propagation of native tree
species for improving ecological restoration (Chapter Nine) are
themes deeply addressed in the next contributions, including
interesting case studies. This book ends with an approach to
environmental suitability modeling and its potential to support
conservation decisions and ecological restoration programs in
virtually any part of the world (Chapter Ten).Forest Conservation:
Methods, Management and Challenges is an important tool for
students, researchers, decision-makers, governmental and
non-governmental agencies that are interested in preserving
different forest types in order to assure biodiversity conservation
for current and future generations.
