What is Biodiversity?- The Eastern Arc Mountains and Their Biological Significance --; Importance of Biodiversity --; Current Threats to Biodiversity --; Site-Specific Knowledge Important for Conserving Biodiversity --; Site-Specific Activities Useful for Conserving Biodiversity --; Summary and Conclusions.
The Eastern Arc Mountains of East Africa are one of the 17 most threatened tropical ecosystems or hotspots worldwide. This is the first book to examine in detail current threats as well as approaches for conserving biological diversity in this global biodiversity hotspot. This volume synthesizes existing information on the biodiversity of the Eastern Arc Mountains, outlines processes that adversely affect this diversity, and suggests potential approaches for promoting its conservation. While the geographic focus of this book is the Eastern Arc forests, the problems, principles, and approaches discussed in relationship to conserving biodiversity have applicability to nearly all tropical forests worldwide.
