- Abstract: Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of modern conservation. For PAs that are established to conserve mobile species, it is important to cover all the key areas regularly used by these species. However, zonation and boundaries of PAs have often been established with limited knowledge of animal movements…
- Evolution of a transboundary landscape approach in the Hindu Kush Himalaya: Key learnings from the Kangchenjunga Landscape

- Abstract: Preserving species within protected areas (PAs) does not guarantee adequate levels of protection if not coupled with conservation of functional connectivity for a target species. We propose an analytical framework to assess the effectiveness of PAs in preserving habitat and functional connectivity for mobile vertebrates.
- Everyone Loves a Success Story: Optimism Inspires Conservation Engagement
- Source: BioScience
- Author(s): Dominic McAfee Zoë A Doubleday Nathaniel Geiger Sean D Connell
- Abstract: In this era of unprecedented environmental change, optimism could help unite people to act. In the present article, we bring together insights from psychology, business, politics, and media to illustrate humanity’s innate attraction to optimism and the influence it can yield in driving positive…
- Manage forests as protection against warming
- We disagree with those who caution against relying on forests as a solution to global warming until the warming effects of trees themselves are better understood (see Nature 565, 280–282; 2019). Forests are currently the safest, most cost-effective way to avoid dangerous increases in global warming…
