| Abstract
|
:
|
SUMATRA is the focus of a large number of agricultural. social and industrialdevelopments and yet the possible biological impacts of these are largely only guessed at bv local and foreign scientists working on those projects. One reason for this is that the biology of Sumatra and its surrounding islands is poorly known. Another reason is that the information which does exist is spread through a disparate array of Dutch, English, German and Indonesian journals and reports.The Ecology of Sumatra has brought together nearly 1500 references relevantto understanding the Components.
