  • Second Growth

    The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation

    by Robin L. Chazdon ...
    For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” ecosystems housed superior levels of biodiversity. With Second Growth, Robin L. Chazdon reveals those assumptions to be largely false, bringing to the fore the previously overlooked counterpart to old-growth forest: second ... Read more

    Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation and Climate Adaptation

    by Jodi A. Hilty, Annika T.H. Keeley, William Z. Lidicker Jr., Adina M. Merenlender ...
    Migrating wildlife species across the globe face a dire predicament as their traditional migratory routes are cut off by human encroachment. Forced into smaller and smaller patches of habitat, they must compete more aggressively for dwindling food resources and territory. This is more than just an unfortunate side effect of human progress. As key species populations dwindle, ecosystems are losing ... Read more
