Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

The Challenges of Underwater Cultural Heritage Protection in the South China Sea [PDF]
, 2016 巫晓发，厦门大学南海研究院博士研究生，泰国皇太后大学讲师。【中文摘要】：不可否认，水下文化遗产对人类非常重要，例如，其可以作为研究历史和人类祖先文明的有力工具。有鉴于此，水下文化遗产应该得到有力保护。1982 年《联合国海洋法公约》和2001 年联合国教科文组织《保护水下文化遗产公约》（以下简称“《2001 年公约》”），都对水下文化遗产的保护做出了相关规定，后者更是水下文化遗产保护方面的专门法。水下文化遗产存在许多有争议的问题，其中南海周边水域的水下文化遗产争端最富有争议。南海连接了安达曼海和太平洋 ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Measuring area‐based conservation outcomes in tropical forests is challenging due to cryptic human disturbances (e.g., hunting). As a result, comparative studies of management strategies providing quantitative outcomes remain scarce, especially in the Neotropics.

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is one of the largest global illegal activities, and it negatively affects biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high‐throughput sequencing (i.e., metabarcoding) is useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT and has been used routinely for decades.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

When and why to give shorebirds a head start
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing
