Throughout Latin America's forested regions, a number of factorsare causing reduction and degradation of habitat and the elimination of species.One of the world's richest storehouses of biodiversity is under severe stress. Innovativeresearch projects and initiatives for sustainable forestry hold promise for habitats andbiodiversity. In-particular, reliable research provides the information necessary forsound conservation measures and sustainable use strategies. Ultimately, however, thepeoples of Latin America must change their basic attitudes and beliefs about the valueof the forest if biodiversity is to be preserved. Also, mechanisms need to be in placewhich enable them to value the forest.
