The Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragmentation Project, which has contributed so much
Chapter 20, Problem 15(choose chapter or problem)
The Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragmentation Project, which has contributed so much to our understanding of threats to biodiversity, is itself endangered. Encouraged by Brazilian government agencies, urban sprawl and intensive forest settlement are closing in on the study site. Activities such as clear-cutting, burning, hunting, and logging threaten the integrity of the surrounding forest. Researchers at the BDFFP, which is jointly operated by a Brazilian research agency and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, hope that they can bring attention to the problem through the Brazilian media and pressure the government into protecting the project. How would you argue the importance of protecting the BDFFP against ecologically destructive activities in a letter to a newspaper editor or to a government official?
