书目名称 | Tropical Rain Forest: A Wider Perspective | 编辑 | F. B. Goldsmith | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Conservation Biology | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | The international perspective for this book is the unprecedented level of concern over deforestation, recognized by the meeting of world leaders at the 1992 Earth Summit, in Rio do Janeiro, and culminating in the appoint ment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Forests (IPF), under the auspices of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development. The wide range of issues covered by the authors in this volume reflects the breadth of the interna tional debate, from national policies and activist campaigning, through eco nomic and social objectives, to the sustainable management of forest and soil resources. Since the conservation campaigns of the 1980s, the focus of international concern has widened from tropical rain forests to all forest formations, in all regions, with increased recognition of global values and common responsibil ities. However, while forest cover in some temperate countries is increasing, irrational deforestation, at historically unprecedented levels of damage to biodiversity and to other environmental values, remains most acute in tropi cal countries, where the need to use the natural resources for sustainable development is greatest, and the capability weakest. | 出版日期 | Book 1998 | 关键词 | environment; forest; soil; tropical forests; vegetation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-4912-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-412-81520-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-4912-9 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1998 |
