Heavily logged forests still valuable for tropical wildlife



New research has found rainforests that have been logged several times continue to hold substantial value for biodiversity and could have a role in conservation.

According to principal investigators, Dr Matthew Struebig and Anthony Turner from the University of Kent’s Durrell Institute of Conservation Ecology (DICE), these findings challenge a long-held belief that there is limited, if any, value of heavily logged forests for conservation.
