- Why is biodiversity data-deficiency an ongoing conservation dilemma in Africa?
- Source: Journal for Nature Conservation
- Author(s): Ahmed A.H. Siddig
- Abstract: Recent reports illustrate deficiencies in knowledge about current conditions and long-term trends in population sizes of hundreds of African plants and animals’ species. In this commentary,…
- Forests: questioning carbon stores after restoration

- Habitat loss linked to global emergence of infectious diseases
- Source: Trends in Parasitology
- Title: The coevolution effect as a driver of spillover
- Author(s): Sarah Zohdy, Tonia S. Schwartz, Jamie R. Oaks.
- Summary: New research may provide the foundation for new scientific studies looking into the association of habitat loss and the global emergence of infectious diseases.
- Predicting intervention priorities for wildlife conflicts
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Author(s): Zachary Baynham‐Herd Steve Redpath Nils Bunnefeld Aidan Keane
- Abstract: There is growing interest in developing effective interventions to manage socially‐ and environmentally‐damaging conservation conflicts. Recent studies have identified a wide variety of different intervention strategies in various contexts but the reasons why one type of intervention is chosen…
- Amazonian tree species threatened by deforestation and climate change
- Source: Nature Climate Change
- Author(s): Vitor H. F. Gomes, Ima C. G. Vieira, Rafael P. Salomão & Hans ter Steege
- Abstract: The combined impacts of climate change and deforestation are estimated to reduce Amazon tree species richness by up to 58% by 2050, whilst deforestation alone may cause 19–36%, and climate change alone 31–37%
- Sustainable development and climate goals
- Source: Nature Climate Change
- Author(s): Adam Yeeles
- Abstract: In April 2019, the United Nations convened a Global Conference on Strengthening Synergies between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We asked five experts to discuss the challenges in…
- Using citizen science data to support conservation in environmental regulatory contexts
- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 237
- Author(s): Bruce E. Young, Noel Dodge, Pamela D. Hunt, Margaret Ormes, Matthew D. Schlesinger, Hollie Y. Shaw
- Abstract: Outside of protected areas, environmental regulation is a vital policy tool for conserving at-risk species…
- Deconstructing compassionate conservation
- Source: Conservation Biology
- Author(s): Matt W. Hayward et al.
- Abstract: Compassionate conservation focuses on 4 tenets: first, do no harm; individuals matter; inclusivity of individual animals; and peaceful coexistence between humans and animals. Recently, compassionate conservation has been promoted as an alternative to conventional conservation philosophy. We…
- Understanding regulatory frameworks for large marine protected areas: Permits of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 237
- Author(s): Graeme S. Cumming, Kirstin A. Dobbs
- Abstract: Increasing numbers of large marine protected areas (LMPAs) are being added to the global conservation estate, raising new challenges for marine social-ecological management…
- Prepare river ecosystems for an uncertain future
- Source: Nature Comment
- Author(s): Jonathan D. Tonkin et al.
- Abstract: As the climate warms, we can’t restore waterways to pristine condition, but models can predict potential changes, argue Jonathan D. Tonkin, N. LeRoy Poff and colleagues.
- Conservation performance of tropical protected areas: How important is management?
- Source: Conservation Letter
- Author(s): Judith Schleicher Carlos A. Peres Nigel Leader‐Williams
- Abstract: Increasing the coverage of effectively managed protected areas (PAs) is a key focus of the 2020 Aichi biodiversity targets. PA management has received considerable attention, often based on the widely held, but rarely examined, assumption that positive conservation outcomes will result from…
- A manifesto for predictive conservation
- Source: Biological Conservation, Volume 237
- Author(s): Henry Travers et al.
- Abstract: Increasing the coverage of effectively managed protected areas (PAs) is a key focus of the 2020 Aichi biodiversity targets. PA management has received considerable attention, often based on the widely held, but rarely examined
