Abstract
Human modification of ecosystems is threatening biodiversity on a global scale (Cowlishaw, 1999; Cowlishaw and Dunbar, 2000; Chapman and Peres, 2001). A recent Food and Agriculture Organization report (FAO, 1999) indicates that tropical countries are losing 127,300 km2 of forest annually, and this does not consider the vast area being selectively logged (approximately 55,000 km2; FAO, 1990). The extent of tropical forests burning each year is highly variable and difficult to measure precisely (FAO, 1999; Nepstad et al., 1999), however, the forests of Southeast Asia (Kinnaird and O’Brien, 1999) and the Brazilian Amazon (Nepstad et al., 1999) are especially impacted by the combination of droughts from El Nino and burning for agriculture (FAO, 1999). In 1997 and 1998 an area of 2 million ha of forest burned in Brazil and 4 million ha burned in Indonesia (FAO, 1999).
