520 8  Annotation Nearly 430 million acres of forests in the 
       United States are privately owned, but the viability, and 
       indeed the very existence, of these forests is 
       increasingly threatened by population growth, sprawling 
       urbanization, and patchwork development. Scientists, 
       policymakers, and community leaders have begun to 
       recognize the vital role of private forests in providing 
       society with essential goods and services, from 
       sustainable timber supplies to clean water. Yet despite 
       the tremendous economic and ecological importance of 
       private forests, information about their status and 
       strategies for their protection have been in short supply.
       America's Private Forests addresses that shortcoming, 
       presenting extensive data gathered from diverse sources 
       and offering a concise overview of the current status of 
       privately owned forests in the United States. As well as 
       describing the state of private forests, the book sets 
       forth detailed information on a wide range of approaches 
       to conservation along with an action agenda for 
       implementing those strategies likely to be most effective.
       The book: identifies the major threats to private forests 
       in the U.S. considers barriers to conservation outlines 
       the available tools and programs for promoting 
       conservation presents a "road map" to guide collective 
       efforts for the conservation of private forests and their 
       native biodiversityBased on extensive research of existing
       literature as well as interviews and consultation with 
       leading forestry and conservation experts, America's 
       Private Forests is a unique sourcebook that offers a solid
       basis for discussion of threats to private forests along 
       with an invaluable compendium of potential solutions. It 
       will serve as aninvaluable reference for all those working
       to conserve and steward forest resources, including forest
       owners and their consultants, conservation organizations, 
       and agency personnel, as well as researchers and students 
       involved w.
