| Summary: | In recent decades, there has been unprecedented growth in the scale and intensity of tropical
forest management. Industrial forestry, both directly and indirectly, has wreaked havoc on the
wildlife and the ecological integrity of tropical forests. While the mark of human intervention
in modern times is quite apparent, forests have in fact been subject to some form of
management. The wildlife of forests that we value so highly today is the result of varying
intensities of human management over an extraordinarily long period. And the more we
study even the most remote forests, the more surprised we are by the sophistication and
extent of its management. |
