We live in an increasingly fragmented world, with islands of
natural habitat cast adrift in a sea of cleared, burned, logged,
polluted, and otherwise altered lands. Nowhere are fragmentation
and its devastating effects more evident than in the tropical
forests. By the year 2000, more than half of these forests will
have been cut, causing increased soil erosion, watershed
destabilization, climate degradation, and extinction of as many as
600,000 species.
"Tropical Forest Remnants" provides the best information available
to help us
understand, manage, and conserve the remaining fragments. Covering
geographic areas from Southeast Asia and Australia to Madagascar
and the New World, this volume summarizes what is known about the
ecology, management, restoration, socioeconomics, and conservation
of fragmented forests. Thirty-three papers present results of
recent research as
well as updates from decades-long projects in progress. Two final
chapters synthesize the state of research on tropical forest
fragmentation and identify key priorities for future work.
