The Impact of Fragmenting a Forest Environment
Summary:
In 1987, Thailand built a dam on the Khlong Saeng river. As the reservoir filled it transformed over 100 forested hilltops into islands. Now each island, along with its plant and animal inhabitants, is an experiment to test the impact of fragmenting a forest environment.
