With separate chapters on individual regions, including South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Africa, Rudel's work offers an up-to-date assessment of the world's tropical forests. In the concluding chapter, Rudel considers the implications of these trends and describes policy directions for conserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable development in each region. 606 $aDeforestation$zTropics 606 $aRain forest conservation 615 0$aDeforestation 615 0$aRain forest conservation. 676 $a333.751370913 700 $aRudel$b Thomas K.$01596979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814925603321 996 $aTropical forests$94054538 997 $aUNINA
