Based on an extensive review of the literature, and broad consultation with experts, we have assessed the sensitivity of Bornean vertebrates to the direct and indirect effects of timber harvest. Well-implemented selective logging has a relatively limited direct impact on wildlife populations: few...


Meijaard, E.Sheil, DouglasNasi, RobertStanley, S.E.[Wildlife conservation in Bornean timber concessions]Wildlife conservation in Bornean timber concessions

Lowland rainforests on Borneo are being degraded and lost at an alarming rate. Studies on mammals report species responding in various ways to habitat changes that occur in commercial forestry concessions. Here we draw together information on the relationship between the ecological, evolutionary,...

In the quest for global standards, “Criteria and Indicators” (C&I) are among the foremost mechanisms for defining and promoting sustainable tropical forest management. This paper examines some challenges posed by this approach, focusing on examples that reflect the ecological aspects of tropical ...


Sheil, DouglasNasi, RobertJohnson, B.[Ecological criteria and indicators for tropical forest landscapes: challenges in the search for progress]Ecological criteria and indicators for tropical forest landscapes: challenges in the search for progress

We examine five forested landscapes in Africa (Cameroon, Madagascar, and Tanzania) and Asia (Indonesia and Laos) at different stages of landscape change. In all five areas, forest cover (outside of protected areas) continues to decrease despite local people’s recognition of the importance of fore...


Pfund, J.L.Watts, J.D.Boissiere, M.Boucard, A.Bullock, R.M.Ekadinata, A.Dewi, S.Feintrenie, L.Levang, P.Rantala, S.Sheil, DouglasSunderland, T.C.H.[Understanding and integrating local perceptions of trees and forests into incentives for sustainable landscape management]Understanding and integrating local perceptions of trees and forests into incentives for sustainable landscape management

The potential for combining timber and non-timber forest product extraction has been examined in the context of diversified forest management. Many tropical forests are exploited both commercially for timber and by forest-dependent communities for non-timber forest products (NTFPs). Divergences b...
