Conserving Biodiversity in the Face of Massive Forest Loss with Agricultural Expansion: Does Current Policy of Allocating Forest in Strips Maintain Wildlife?

In subtropical and tropical regions, forest often is left in strips between agricultural fields under the untested assumption that biodiversity is sustained. This project will assess the conservation value (or lack of value) of forest strips for mammals in one of the most endangered eco-regions (Chaco forest) and work with policy makers to incorporate project results into policies developed under the new Argentine National Forestry Law.
