This handbook is for educators intending to teach the values of tropical moist forests. The book is organized in five parts, each containing several sections. The goal is to help educating people about the true worth of tropical moist forests.
The eleven technical papers are the culmination of the first phase to review the natural resource status of these two areas, to design a fully integrated wetland management project, and to develop public awareness of the project's approach to integrating wetlands conservation and development.
This action plan gives a comprehensive survey of the distribution and conservation status of wild camelids in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru and identifies their conservation needs.
