An operational model for implementing conservation action por Knight, A., Cowling, R.M., Campbell, Bruce M.

“…This preoccupation has provided systematic assessments with well-tested tools (e.g., area selection algorithms) and principles (e.g., representation, complementarity), but our understanding of these techniques currently far exceeds our ability to apply them effectively to pragmatic conservation problems. The science is informative about where one needs to do conservation, but silent on how to achieve it. …”

Towards sustainable management of mixed dipterocarp forests of South-east Asia: moving beyond minimum diameter cutting limits por Sist, P., Fimbel, R., Sheil, Douglas, Nasi, Robert, Chevallier, M.H.

“…These guidelines, a pragmatic reflection of science and ‘best guess’ judgement, include: (1) integration of reduced-impact logging practices into normal management operations; (2) cutting of eight trees per hectare or less (with a felling cycle of 40–60 years to be determined according to local conditions); (3) defining minimum diameter cutting limits according to the structure, density and diameter at reproduction of target species; (4) avoiding harvesting species with less than one adult tree per hectare (diameter at breast height [dbh] larger and equal to 50cm over an area of 50–100 ha); (5) minimizing the size and connectivity of gaps (<600m2 whenever possible); (6) refraining from treatments such as understorey clearing; and (7) providing explicit protection for key forest species and the ecological processes they perform. …”
