Towards wildlife management in tropical forests
Article Abstract:
It is becoming clear that hunting in tropical forests cannot be maintained at current levels. In many tropical forests, harvested populations are showing constant falls in density, while some species have been wiped out altogether. This is a particular problem in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, West Africa and the Philippines. Much of the hunting in tropical forests is not managed at all at present, and there is now an urgent need to address this problem.

Long-term counts of migrating raptors: a role for volunteers in wildlife research
Article Abstract:
Collecting information for longterm databases of issues relating to conservation biology can be demanding and expensive, and many professionals have relied upon volunteers' observations to make informed decisions. Scientists at the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in eastern Pennsylvania increasingly use observations made by recreational birdwatchers, fishermen and hunters as an important human resource.
