Product Description

Product Description

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve has captured the worldwide attention of biologists, conservationists, and ecologists and has been the setting for extensive investigation over the past 30 years. Roughly 40,000 ecotourists visit the Cloud Forest each year, and it is often considered the archetypal high-altitude rain forest. This volume brings together some of the most prominent researchers of the region to provide a broad introduction to the biology of the Monteverde and cloud forests in general. Collecting and synthesizing vital information about the ecosystem and its biota, the book also examines the positive and negative effects of human activity on both the forest and the surrounding communities. Ecologists, tropical biologists, and natural historians will find this volume an indispensable resource as will all those who are fascinated by the magnificent tropical forests.

First Sentence
Monteverde has been variously described as a virgin tropical cloud forest, a Quaker dairy community, an artists' commune, a haven for those seeking spirituality, a model for tropical rain forest conservation, and a "forest in the clouds" where the sound of the bellbird's call and images of mist-enshrouded trees long linger in visitors' minds. Read the first page
