Stretching across southern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and Belize,
the Maya Forest, or Selva Maya, constitutes one of the last large
blocks of tropical forest remaining in North and Central America.
Home to Mayan-speaking people for more than 5,000 years, the region
is also uncommonly rich in cultural and archaeological
resources."Timber, Tourists, and Temples" brings together the
leading biologists, social scientists, and conservationists working
in the region to present in a single volume information on the
intricate social and political issues, and the complex scientifc
and management problems to be resolved there. Following an
introductory chapter that presents GIS and remote sensing data, the
book: considers perspectives on managing forest resources and the
forestry and conservation policies of each nation examines efforts
by communities to manage their forest resources explains the
connections between resource conservation and use by local people
highlights research projects that integrate baseline biological
research with impact assessments explains the need to involve local
people in conservation effort"Timber, Tourists, and Temples"
explores methods of supporting the biological foundation of the
Maya Forest and keeping alive that unique and diverse ecosystem.
While many areas face similar development pressures, few have been
studied as much or for as long as the Maya Forest. The wealth of
information included in this pathbreaking work will be valuable not
only for researchers involved with the Maya Forest but for anyone
concerned with the protection, use, and management of tropical
forest ecosystems throughout the world.
