| Synopsis: |
By a synthesis of sampling designs for fieldwork and analysis, the information provided in this manual addresses the question: How can tropical botanists contribute to conservation planning? This handbook therefore explains botanical and ecological techniques for the evaluation of sites for conservation and land management. In response to conservation needs in the tropics, the focus is on collecting, analyzing and integrating appropriate data quickly and cheaply to complement detailed and intensive long-term field research. Introductory chapters present basic ecological concepts essential for choosing criteria on which to base conservation decisions. It provides access to a non-technical assessment of a variety of research methods including the use of spectral imagery, aerial photographs and GIS to recognize the map vegetation zones, design field surveys and data collection protocols, and methods for data presentation and analysis. It serves as a tool to encourage local participation in decision-making for strategic conservation and land-use planning, particularly in tropical and developing countries. |
