Forestry and biodiversity: learning how to sustain biodiversity.
Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 2009. Octavo, paperback, black and white photographs, maps.
As global demand for forest products increases, conserving biodiversity has become more urgent and challenging. This book advocates adaptive management - a structured approach to learning by doing - to sustain biodiversity in managed forests. It draws on the theory and principles of conservation biology and forest ecology and illustrates them, and the challenges they pose, through a practical, real-world study of commercial forestry in a coastal temperate rainforest.
