- Abstract
The article focuses on the need for integrated research for a sustainable future in tropical dry forests. Tropical rain forests have received little or no attention compared with the tropical rainforests. The lack of conservation effort in tropical dry forests is reflected in the fact that few national parks and biological reserves protect and preserve their natural richness. There are only a handful of real biological research stations with a mandate to bridge the gap between ecology and conservation biology in these ecosystems.
