Cameroonís tropical forest is home to numerous plants and animals. It is also inhabited by Baka pygmies who are foragers and Bantu farmers. These communities have developed forestñdependent livelihoods, cultures and religions. Destruction of the forest by commercial and state interests, subsistence agriculture and the harvesting of products has necessitated a considerable upsurge in environmental protection projects to conserve and rehabilitate ecosystems, forests, soils and water resources. Ultimately, the approach to conservation that is applied is the responsibility of the government and in

"The long-awaited successor to the classic volume Measures of Success, which transformed conservation practices in the early 2000s, Pathways of Success is a modern guide to building large-scale transformative programs that take conservation planning to the next level, just when we need them most. In this delightfully illustrated volume, coauthors Nick Salafsky and Richard Margoluis lay out fundamental concepts of effective program-level design by adapting project-level approaches to meet the needs of large programs. Chapters in the first part of the book look at all aspects of designing and implementing large-scale conservation programs, while the second part focuses on how to use data and information to manage, adapt, and learn from program strategies. In addition, they offer practical advice for avoiding pitfalls that can trip up otherwise well-intentioned efforts. Abundant graphics help to explain and clarify concepts presented in the text; a glossary in the back matter defines technical terms for the reader. Pathways to Success is the definitive guide for conservation program managers and funders who want to increase the scale and effectiveness of their work. Its principles and practices can be readily applied beyond conservation to such fields as public health, human rights, social equity, and economic development"--

This brief book is dedicated to the quantitative analyses and systematic discussion of spatial biodiversity and biogeographic patterns in the Asia‐pacific region comprised of China, India and adjacent countries. The book is split into two sections. The first section presents readers with detailed statistical methods to conduct spatial macro‐biodiversity and biogeography analyses. Step-by-step instructions on how to perform these statistical methods by using the statistical program R are also provided. In the second part, different quantitative case studies are presented covering several topics, including phylogenetics, spatial statistics, multivariate statistics and ecological genomics. Each case study concludes with a detailed interpretation of the quantitative results and how these results are relevant to local and regional ecological processes. This reference is suitable for academics interested in biostatistics biodiversity and ecological studies specific to the Asia Pacific region and China.
