ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Information kindly provided by Paul Donald (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, UK). 35 Unsustainable forestry is rapidly eroding biodiversity Unsustainable forestry practices are spreading and intensifying across the world.
Even selectively logged forests support consistently fewer forest-specialist bird species than primary forests. Those species that do persist often become rare. Many are understorey insectivores, unable to survive in the open, fragmented habitats created by current forestry practices (box 4). 1920 4 1940 1960 1980 2000 Forest bird communities are depleted even under selective logging regimes Well-managed selective logging of tropical forest allows much biodiversity to persist, and is certainly less damaging than intensive timber extraction or clear-felling.
