Cayenne 2009 - Knowledge-Based Management of Tropical Rainforests
Rainforests play a major role in the supply of goods and ecosystem services for countries and people. They require all the more care since they contain exceptional richness as regards biodiversity, since their functioning is complex and since they remain vulnerable to disturbances of all kinds, in particular those issued from climate change. Preservation and development of rainforests require an increased knowledge of their diversity and functioning in connection with their management. The International Conference held in Cayenne, November 22-27, aimed to discuss those several important issues affecting tropical rain forests in order to provide a global vision that is the necessary precursor to any rational action, and to provide much-needed context for scientific approaches that are more limited in scope.
