Tropical Forest Ecology: The Basis for Conservation and Management, takes a multi-disciplinary approach for increasing the understanding of tropical forest ecology, as a necessary step to developing kowledge on adequate strategies for conservation and management. The authors have long experience in both academic and practical matters related to tropical forest ecology and management. Tropical forestry is confronted with the task of finding strategies to alleviate pressure on remaining forests, and techniques to enhance forest regeneration and restore abandoned lands, using productive alternatives that can be attractive to local human populations. In addition, sustainable forestry in tropical countries must be supported by the adequate policies to promote and maintain specific activities at local and regional scales.
