A program for monitoring biological diversity in the amazon: An alternative perspective to threat-based monitoring

Ferraz et al. (2008) indicated the need for planning in biological monitoring in the Amazon, and reviewed what they considered recent progress. The problems and solutions they discuss are well known, and it is unlikely that many biologists would disagree with most of them. However, the authors do no...
