✦ Synopsis
-
Principles and practices of conservation from temperate, developed-world regions can generally be applied to tropical, developing regions, but the specific solutions are likely to be determined by regional ecological and socio-economic factors.
-
This can be seen in the contributions to the Special Issue 'Conservation of Tropical Streams': principles of catchment protection, hydrological connectivity and biodiversity conservation are broadly applicable, but regional planning and management need to be based on specific studies.
-
Although specific studies and monitoring are necessary, they should not delay the conservation process; in many cases the specific studies need to parallel the management actions and refine the conservation planning.
