Rezension zu „Monitoring Forest Biodiversity: Improving Conservation Through Ecologically Responsible Management “
'This book provides a highly original review of one of the greatest challenges facing today's conservation and forestry professionals.' Jeffrey Sayer, Senior Scientific Adviser, Forest Conservation Programme , IUCN - International Union for Conservation of Nature. 'Toby Gardner's excellent book contains many valuable lessons and recommendations on ways to improve forest monitoring, how to promote far better and more ecologically sustainable forest management, and approaches to significantly improve biodiversity conservation programs... Researchers, policy-makers, and forest managers need to read this book.' David Lindenmayer, Fenner School of Environment and Society, The Australian National University 'Toby Gardner's timely, accessible and much needed book provides a constructive and common sense review of key problems and remedies regarding the future of forest biodiversity. His clear-headed proposals about monitoring and good practice offer a practical guide to improved forest management and conservation. I urge all those concerned with the fate of the world's forests to read and consider what this book has to say.' Douglas Sheil, Director, Institute of Tropical Forest Conservation, Uganda, and Senior Research Associate, Center for International Forestry Research, Indonesia 'Monitoring Forest Biodiversity is a must-read for any forest carbon practitioner who wishes to further develop our demanding field. It clearly explains how to affect large-scale, statistically significant impacts that positively influence biodiversity and the surrounding forest community based on real, repeatable, equitable, and verifiable forest carbon project management.'
