'... a very good overview ... The authors are experts and the explanations and examples are up-to-date.' Gorilla Journal 'This book is about the consequences that extractive industry is having on the tropical forests of Africa and Asia and the remaining apes that live within them. It is about the local, regional, and national policies that govern the extractive industry and the steps towards mitigation that stakeholders can consider. It has no fairy tale ending; it proposes no silver bullet. Rather, it is an attempt to lay out the consequences of today's resource extraction practices on ape communities and more importantly, encourage a shift towards acceptance that this industry and the environment are inexplicably connected ... an important contribution towards identifying both the challenges and potential solutions involved in ape habitat conservation, written by a foundation that is a world leader in safeguarding wild and captive apes ... Anyone interested in being familiar with how best to resolve this broader, widespread conflict must read this book.' Alex K. Piel, Primate Eye ... a very good overview ...
