Forest fragmentation will inevitably continue over the coming
years, especially in developing economies. This book provides a
cutting edge review of the multi-disciplinary sciences related to
studies of global forest fragmentation. It specifically addresses
cross-cutting themes from both an ecological and a social sciences
perspective. The ultimate goal of "Global Forest Fragmentation" is
to provide a detailed scientific base to support future forest
landscape management and planning to meet global environmental and
societal needs.
Increasing numbers of ecologists and conservation biologists have
begun to explore the use of drone technology to obtain accurate and
up-to-date data on the distribution and density of species, as well
as the threats to their habitats, in their ongoing attempts to
conserve and monitor biodiversity. Conservation drones are
low-cost, autonomous, and operator-friendly unmanned aerial
vehicles that can be used for surveying, mapping, and monitoring
both habitat and biodiversity. They are fast becoming a valuable
complement to ground-based surveys and satellite imagery for a wide
range of ecological and conservation applications. The authors
pioneered the use of conservation drones for the purpose of
monitoring orangutan populations in Southeast Asia. They
subsequently founded ConservationDrones.org to share their
knowledge of building and using drones with colleagues in the wider
environmental community. This website has proved highly popular and
this book aims to further build capacity to use drones and inspire
others to adapt emerging technologies for practical conservation.
