Setting Conservation Targets for Managed Forest Landscapes by Villard, Marc-andr

Description: Setting Conservation Targets for Managed Forest Landscapes by Villard, Marc-andré Using examples from a broad range of forest regions and organisms - from a variety of perspectives - the authors present concepts, approaches and case studies to illustrate how biodiversity conservation can be integrated into forest management planning. They provide insight and tools to help shape the future of forest landscapes worldwide. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Forests host a disproportionate share of the worlds biodiversity. They are increasingly being seen as a refuge for genetic diversity, native species, natural structures, and ecological processes. Yet, intensive forestry threatens their value for biodiversity. The authors present concepts, approaches and case studies illustrating how biodiversity conservation can be integrated into forest management planning. They address ecological patterns and processes taking place at the scale of landscapes, or forest mosaics. This book is intended for students and researchers in conservation biology and natural resource management, as well as forest land managers and policy makers. It presents examples from many forest regions and a variety of organisms. With contributions from researchers that are familiar with forest management and forest managers working in partnership with researchers, this book provides insight and concrete tools to help shape the future of forest landscapes worldwide. Author Biography Marc-Andre Villard is a Professor of Biology at Universite de Moncton, where he holds a Canada Research Chair in Landscape Conservation. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithologists Union and co-editor of the journal Avian Conservation and Ecology. Bengt Gunnar Jonsson is a Professor of Plant Ecology at Mid Sweden University. He has been an active part of several national conservation projects initiated by the Swedish Forest Agency and the Swedish EPA, and acted as scientific advisor within the Convention on Biological Diversity.
