Conservation and management of tropical rainforests [Elektronisk resurs] an integrated approach to sustainability / Eberhard F. Bruenig (Professor of World Forestry, former Ordinarius of the Chair of World Forestry, University of Hamburg, Germany).

• Tropical Rainforest Ecosystem, Land Cover, Habitat, Resource -- Rainforest Use: Necessity, Wisdom, Greed, Folly -- Sustainable Forestry in Rainforests: Reality or Dream, Hope or Chimaera? -- Principles and Strategies of Sustainability -- The Tortuous Road Towards Forest Sustainability in the Tropical Rainforest: Cases From Which to Learn -- Naturalistic Close-to-Nature Forestry Management in Tropical Rainforests -- How to Avoid Forest Degradation or Upgrade Degraded Forest Ecosystems: A Classic World Forestry Problem -- Short-rotation Tree Plantations -- Forest Management: Doctrine, Muddle or Goal-orientated System? -- Certification of Forest Management and Timber Origin -- Forestry in the Tropical Rainforest: The Decisive Roots, Trends and Key Problems -- Quo Vadis Silva Tropica Humida, Quo Vadis Nos?. 

• This book contains 12 chapters providing details on conservation and management of tropical rain forests. Chapter 1 describes tropical rain forest ecosystem, land cover, habitat, resource; Chapter 2 explores the use of rain forests; Chapter 3 discusses sustainable forestry in rain forests; and Chapter 4 presents principles and strategies of sustainability. Further, Chapter 5, 6, 7 and 8 provides details on the tortuous road towards forest sustainability in the tropical rain forest; naturalistic close-to-nature forestry management in tropical rain forests; avoiding forest degradation or upgrading degraded forest ecosystems; and short-rotation tree plantations, respectively. Finally, the last four chapters explore forest management (Chapter 9); certification of forest management and timber origin (Chapter 10); forestry in the tropical rain forest (Chapter 11); and quo vadis silva tropica humida, quo vadis nos? (Chapter 12).
