Evidence is presented about the presence of Phaseolus microcarpus in Costa Rica, while it was previously reported northwards in other Central American countries and Mexico. Fourteen populations are currently known, four from the Peninsula of Nicoya, and ten are in the tropical dry forest of the m...

The exceptional endemic species richness found in the Tropical Andes is being subjected to high rates of environmental degradation and natural resources exploitation. While many forms of land-cover change and other impacts on species are difficult to control through environmental regulations, gov...


Bax, VicenteFrancesconi, WendyDelgado, Alexi[Land-use conflicts between biodiversity conservation and extractive industries in the Peruvian Andes]Land-use conflicts between biodiversity conservation and extractive industries in the Peruvian Andes

The Amazon forest has been converted to a matrix of pristine and modified habitats. Landscape-scale biodiversity conservation requires an understanding of species’ distributions over this matrix to guarantee both effective protection and use for present and future generations. In this study, we e...

This paper attempts to assesses future prospects for forest conservation, especially protected areas, in the Asia-Pacific region to the year 2010, under three scenarios assuming: - continuation of the present level of action and policy environment ('status quo'); - sustained environmental campaig...


Paine, J. R.Byron, R.N.Poffenberger, M.[Status, trends and future scenarios for forest conservation including protected areas in the Asia-Pacific region]Status, trends and future scenarios for forest conservation including protected areas in the Asia-Pacific region

Extensive areas of forest in the tropics have been legally classified as protected areas: however, in many cases it has been difficult to achieve their conservation. This paper argues that the priority for forest conservation should not be maximising the area totally protected but rather to focus...

China has serious environmental problems but China has begun to address some of them. The data for environmental assesments of China's forests are sparse at best, therefore, the authors survey general impressions before focusing on one representative topic, the loss of biodiveristy that necessari...
