000733546 520__ $$aThis book highlights key results and lessons learned from two field sites: La Suerte in Costa Rica and Ometepe in Nicaragua.℗ℓThe content℗ℓwithin℗ℓprovides long term data on species abundance and distribution, with specific attention paid to primates of the region. Primates are flagship species and good indicators for the health of an ecosystem. Many primate species are sensitive to habitat alteration, and are often hunted out first. They also℗ℓplay an important role as seed dispersal agents for the regeneration of the forest. Central American Biodiversity compares results from these two field sites with regional trends to℗ℓexplore potential solutions. This book strongly calls for new approaches in conservation, making the case for looking beyond pure species biology and classic conservation,℗ℓencouraging the reader℗ℓto take into account the economic and political realities.
