Abstract
Selective logging is the most widespread degrading force in the tropics. Focusing on my work in Borneo, a region which has suffered some of the most intensive harvesting globally, I will investigate the impacts of selective logging on biodiversity and ecological functioning. I will then discuss possible ways of improving the management of selectively logged forests to reduce the loss of biodiversity.
