| Abstract: | The degeneration of forest landscapes is mainly caused by
human impact on the natural environment, which is posing a great threat to biodiversity.
We studied the relationship between forest landscapes and birds in mountain regions of
Xishuangbanna,Yunnan Province. In Jinuo ethnic region, forest landscape is degenerating,
and bird diversity is reducing as a result of human influence. However, in Hani ethnic region
of Mengsong area, a comparative study area, there are also traditional practices of
agriculture and forestry. The traditional practices are dynamically adaptive to local
geographic environment and social economic conditions. A great deal of biodiversity
exists in the place where people have lived for many generations and use the resources of
environment in a sustainable manner. Considering bird diversity and forest landscape of
mountainous area, both economic and ecological benefits should be taken into account, which
relate to land use and landscape protection. Biodiversity conservation, resource management
and policy making should pay much attention to the best interconnection of land use and
landscapes protection. |
