A landmark work in conservation science, The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests: Africa presents a comprehensive cartographic and ecological survey of the continent's most vital and threatened ecosystems. Compiled by leading experts at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, the volume maps Africa's tropical forest regions with meticulous precision, documenting biodiversity, land use, and the accelerating pressures of deforestation and habitat loss. The atlas argues powerfully for the urgent need to protect Africa's remaining forest cover, grounding its case in rigorous data, detailed regional analyses, and authoritative contributions from an international network of scientists and conservationists. Its combination of stunning cartography, ecological depth, and policy-relevant analysis makes it an indispensable reference for researchers, policymakers, and anyone who understands that the fate of Africa's forests is inseparable from the fate of the planet itself.
