Abstract

Shortages of funds and personnel have restricted the development of ecological research in Nicaragua. These problems are exacerbated by the current war between the forces of the government and the contras. In spite of these difficulties, there has been considerable recent progress in research that focuses on urgent environmental problems - especially agricultural ecology and conservation biology.
