Will the Rainforests Survive? New Threats and Realities in the Tropical Extinction Crisis
Will the rainforests survive? New threats and realities in the tropical extinction crisis
Satellite data and other research reveal that huge tracts of abandoned tropical forests that were once logged or farmed are regrowing, prompting a contentious debate among world scientists convening at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History Jan. 12. At issue is the extent to which this regrowth might mitigate the loss of biodiversity. Some researchers contend that many animal species will not survive the transition. Others argue that the biodiversity crisis has been overstated.
