- Myths and assumptions about human‐wildlife conflict and coexistence
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Authors(s): Adrian Treves, Francisco J. Santiago‐Ávila
- Progress in the scholarship and practice of human‐wildlife conflict and coexistence requires rigorous tests of four fundamental assumptions…
- A global comparative analysis of impact evaluation methods in estimating the effectiveness of protected areas
- Source: Biological Conservation
- Author(s): Luiz Guilherme dos Santos Ribas, Robert L. Pressey, Rafael Loyola, Luis Mauricio Bini
- Traditional impact evaluation methods used in environmental sciences tend to compare protected and control areas that differ in several characteristics, thereby hampering the attribution of causality such as lower rates of deforestation occurring as consequence of protection.
- What motivates the masses: Understanding why people contribute to conservation citizen science projects
- Source: Biological Conservation
- Author(s): Phoebe R. Maund et al.
- While research is emerging on developing citizen science projects by optimising technological modalities, little consideration has been given to understanding what motivates individuals to voluntarily contribute data.
- Tara Oceans: towards global ocean ecosystems biology
- Source: Nature Reviews Microbiology
- Author(s): Shinichi Sunagawa et al.
- Here, we review the work of Tara Oceans, an international, multidisciplinary project to assess the complexity of ocean life across comprehensive taxonomic and spatial scales.
- Rapidly escalating threats to the biodiversity and ethnocultural capital of Brazilian Indigenous Lands
- Source: Land Use Policy
- Author(s): Rodrigo A. Begotti, Carlos A. Peres
- New research argues that legally protected large territories in Brazil are crucial to protect biodiversity and provide essential conditions for indigenous populations to maintain their traditional livelihoods.
- Wildlife impacts and vulnerable livelihoods in a transfrontier conservation landscape
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Author(s): Jonathan Salerno et al.
- Interactions between humans and wildlife resulting in negative impacts are among the most pressing conservation challenges globally. In regions of smallholder livestock and crop production, interactions with wildlife can compromise human well‐being and motivate negative sentiment and retaliation…
- Human–wildlife coexistence in a changing world
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Author(s): Hannes J. König et al.
- Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) is a key topic in conservation and agricultural research. Decision makers need evidence‐based information to design sustainable management plans and policy instruments. However, providing objective decision support can be challenging because realities and perceptions…
- Emergent conservation outcomes of shared risk perception in human‐wildlife systems
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Author(s): Neil H. Carter, Andres Baeza, Nicholas R. Magliocca
- Human perception of risks related to economic damages caused by nearby wildlife can be transmitted through social networks. Understanding how sharing risk information within a human community alters the spatial dynamics of human‐wildlife interactions has important implications for the design…
- The place of nature in conservation conflicts
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Author(s): Guillaume Chapron , José Vicente López‐Bao
- Conservation conflicts are gaining importance in contemporary conservation scholarship such that conservation may have entered a conflict hype. We attempted to uncover and deconstruct the normative assumptions behind such studies…
- Biodiversity increases ecosystem functions despite multiple stressors on coral reefs
- Source: Nature Ecology & Evolution
- Author(s): Cassandra E. Benkwitt, Shaun K. Wilson, Nicholas A. J. Graham
- Positive relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) highlight the importance of conserving biodiversity to maintain key ecosystem functions and associated services…
- What is Threatening Forests in Protected Areas? A Global Assessment of Deforestation in Protected Areas, 2001–2018
- Source: Forests
- Author(s): Christopher M. Wade et al.
- The protection of forests is crucial to providing important ecosystem services, such as supplying clean air and water, safeguarding critical habitats for biodiversity, and reducing global greenhouse gas emissions…
