Conserving biological diversity in managed tropical forests
1992
International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Reources (IUCN) | Blockhus, Jill M. | Dillenbeck, Mark | Sayer, Jeffrey A.
The present study is an attempt to determine whether the member countries of the ITTO have a legal and administrative basis for managing their production forests in ways which will allow these forests to contribute to bilogical diversity conservation. The study also attempts to assess the extent to which such biodiversity-friendly management is already applied on the ground. For each member country, studies were commissioned on the situation of production forests, their spatial relation to the totally protected area system and the extent of knowledge of the impacts of present management on biological diversity. These country studies were presented at a workshop held during the IUCN General Assembly, in Perth Australia, in December 1990.
