Abstract

Things are heating up in the Amazon as the burning season begins. In Brazil, a 30-year-old study of forest fragments is itself threatened by farming, logging and hunting, say William Laurance and Regina Luizao. As a new season of burning and logging gets under way in the Brazilian rainforest, a project studying the effects of fragmentation on rainforest communities has itself become endangered. William Laurance and Regina Luizao report on the work of the Biological Dynamics of Forests Fragmentation Project and the new highway that threatens both this project and an important Amazonian conservation area.
