Un article de Romain Pirard paru dans le n°51 (septembre 2010) de la lettre d'information du European Tropical Forest Research Network consacré à la conservation de la biodiversité dans les forêts certifiées.

Présentation du n°51 :

"The role of logging in the loss and degradation of tropical forest has become an issue of popular concern and political debate across the world. Over the years, the insight has grown that responsible management of forests for timber production may also make a positive contribution to biodiversity conservation. The promotion of socially and ecologically sound forest management through forest certification is now widely embraced as a strategy to conserve the world’s forests and the biodiversity they contain. [...] In this issue of ETFRN News on "Biodiversity conservation in certified forests", a wide variety of authors involved in certification and/or the conservation of tropical forest biodiversity provide their views on the question whether certification is a good conservation strategy for tropical forests. The 33 articles report on practical experiences from concessions and community forests, on the challenges of monitoring biodiversity, high conservation value forests and a range of other subjects. The results of a dedicated on-line survey devised especially for this ETFRN News provide additional context to the views expressed in the articles."
