Barriers to biodiversity conservation in forest certification

Article Abstract:

Biologists themselves seem unable to agree on which criteria or indicators to use to assess biodiversity conservation, even in local contexts, so it is not realistic to expect forest managers in industry to adopt them. Preserving rare species is not important to a forest manager, who is trying to maintain a sustainable resource base and save money. Forest managers will be under more pressure as consumer awareness of the value of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services grows.

Tropical forest management and conservation of biodiversity: an overview

Article Abstract:

The wide range of logging intensities, logging methods, collateral damage, and silvicultural approaches appropriate for tropical forests is discussed. Forests management practices have improved under market pressure and this in turn has substantially reduced the deleterious environmental effects of logging and other silvicultural activities.
