Forested habitat preferences by Chilean citizens: Implications for biodiversity conservation in Pinus radiata plantations

The need for conservation outside protected areas has prompted the modification of productive practices to allow the maintenance of wild biota in productive landscapes such as those associated to timber production. Forest plantations could cooperate in conserving biodiversity outside protected areas...
