Life after logging: reconciling wildlife conservation and production forestry in Indonesian Borneo
Tropical forest people often suffer from the same processes that threaten biodiversity. An improved knowledge of what is important to local people could improve decision making. This article examines the usefulness of explicitly asking what is important to local people. Our examples draw on biodi...
