“I consider this book an excellent example of how scientists worldwide can mobilize their efforts to propose sound solutions for one of the biggest challenges of modern times, i.e., how to protect the world’s natural ecosystems while improving human well-being. I am sure this book will inspire more researchand conservation action in the region and perhaps encourage other groups of scientists to produce similar syntheses about their regions.”
