- Are MPAs effective in removing fishing pressure from benthic species and habitats?
- Source: Biological Conservation
- Author(s): Rebecca Langton, David A. Stirling, Philip Boulcott, Peter J. Wright
- MPAs are expected to improve the conservation status of rare and important habitats and species. However, the reduction in anthropogenic pressure due to such management measures is rarely estimated.
- Hunting threatens one of the world’s most amazing wildlife migrations
- Source: Biological Conservation
- Author(s): Eduardo Gallo-Cajiao et al.
- As the world looks to tighten up the illegal capture of wildlife, migratory birds are being threatened by widespread and unsustainable hunting across the Asia-Pacific region. New research has revealed that three quarters of migratory shorebird species in the region have been hunted since the 1970s.
- Effects of climate and land-use changes on fish catches across lakes at a global scale
- Source: Nature Communications
- Author(s): Yu-Chun Kao et al.
- Here we show that fish catches can respond either positively or negatively to climate and land-use changes, by analyzing…
- Identifying trade-offs between biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services delivery for land-use decisions
- Source: Scientific Reports
- Author(s): Constance Fastré, Hugh P. Possingham, Diederik Strubbe, Erik Matthysen
- Sustainable land-use management must account for the potential trade-offs between biodiversity conservation, productive land uses and ecosystem services.
- Protected Areas and Food Security: Unravelling the Issues
- Source: Participatory Biodiversity Conservation
- Author(s): Winy Vasquez, Terry Sunderland
- Wild foods provide a significant nutritional contribution to the diets of rural dwellers, the majority of whom would be classified as some of the world’s poorest. In addition…
- Strengthening the global system of protected areas post-2020: A perspective from the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas
- Source: Parks Stewardship Forum
- Author(s): Kathy MacKinnon et al.
- Protected areas are the cornerstones of biodiversity conservation and have never been more relevant than at the present time when the world is facing both a biodiversity and a climate change crisis.
- Meeting the food security challenge for nine billion people in 2050: What impact on forests?
- Source: Global Environmental Change
- Author(s): N. H. A. Bahar et al.
- Managed forestry may replace natural forests but will also encroach on abandoned agricultural land, leading to competition with other land uses.
- Economic analysis for marine protected resources management: Challenges, tools, and opportunities
- Source: Ocean & Coastal Management
- Author(s): Robert Fonner, Manuel Bellanger, Amanda Warlick
- Economic analysis is well suited to inform protected resources management in marine and coastal environments. The purpose of this review is to provide a connection between the challenges facing managers of marine protected resources and specific forms of economic analysis that can help address them…
- Safeguarding our future by protecting biodiversity
- Source: Plant Diversity
- Author(s): Richard T. Corlett
- The Anthropocene is marked by twin crises: climate change and biodiversity loss. Climate change has tended to dominate the headlines, reflecting, in part, the greater complexity of the biodiversity crisis.
- Dams and protected areas: Quantifying the spatial and temporal extent of global dam construction within protected areas
- Source: Conservation Letters
- Author(s): Michele L. Thieme et al
- Protected areas (PAs) are an essential tool for freshwater biodiversity conservation. Given past and expected future global increases in dams and impacts of dams on freshwater ecosystems, we document the number of dams existing or planned within PAs, their history, and the extent of PA downgrading,…
