Interactions between protected areas and their surroundings in human-dominated tropical landscapes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose the designation of a "zone of interaction" (ZOI) around PAs that encompasses hydrologic, ecological, and socioeconomic interactions between a protected area and the surrounding landscape.

The Fragmented Forest: Island Biogeography Theory and the Preservation of Biotic Diversity

TL;DR: In this poineering application of island biogeography theory, Harris presented an alternative to current practices of timber harvesting as discussed by the authors, pulling together many threads of biological thinking about islands and their effect on plant and animal survival and evolution, he weaves these threads into a model for managing forest lands in a manner that might serve both short-term economic and social needs as well as what some people feel is our ancient charge to be steward of all parts of creation.
