Monitoring is an essential ingredient in meeting this challenge, allowing us to measure the impact of different human activities on biodiversity and identify more responsible ways of managing the environment. Nevertheless many biodiversity monitoring programs are criticised as being little more than 'tick the box' compliance exercises that waste precious resources and erode the credibility of science in the 410 4$aThe Earthscan Forest Library 606 $aSustainable forestry 606 $aBiodiversity conservation 606 $aForest biodiversity 606 $aForest management 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSustainable forestry. 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation. 615 0$aForest biodiversity. 615 0$aForest management. 676 $a333.75/16 700 $aGardner$b Toby$0926672 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458820903321 996 $aMonitoring forest biodiversity$92080849 997 $aUNINA
