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 $aForest management 615 0$aSustainable forestry. 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation. 615 0$aForest biodiversity. 615 0$aForest management. 676 $a333.75/16 700 $aGardner$b Toby$01520542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784946603321 996 $aMonitoring forest biodiversity$93759164 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01372nam 2200361z- 450 001 9910694096403321 005 20161209105427.0 035 $a(CKB)5860000000024973 035 $a(BIP)013690960 035 $a(EXLCZ)995860000000024973 100 $a20220406c2005uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aHearing on the regulation of 527 organizations $ehearing before the Committee on House Administration, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, first session, hearing held in Washington, DC, April 20, 2005 215 $a1 online resource (ii, 110 p.) $cill 311 $a0-16-075135-7 517 $aHearing on the regulation of 527 organizations 606 $a527 groups$xLaw and legislation 606 $aAdvertising, Political$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aCampaign funds$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aElection law$zUnited States 610 $aAdvertising, political 610 $aCampaign funds 610 $aElection law 610 $aPolitical science 610 $aLaw 615 0$a527 groups$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aAdvertising, Political$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aCampaign funds$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aElection law 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910694096403321 996 $aHearing on the regulation of 527 organizations$93201017 997 $aUNINA
