Ecological Bulletins, Targets and Tools for the Maintenance of Forest Biodiversity (Electronic book text, Bulletin 51)

Maintaining forest biodiversity by combining protection, management and restoration of forest and woodland landscapes is a central component of sustainable development.
Evidence that there are threshold levels for how much habitat loss may be tolerated for viable populations of specialised species to be maintained.
Policy-makers, businesses and managers pose questions about how to balance use of renewable forest resources and conserve biodiversity.
Examples are presented on how biodiversity assessments can be made.
Proposes how the critical gaps in our knowledge identified throughout the book could be filled through macroecological research and international co-operation.
