Climate‐driven ‘species‐on‐the‐move’ provide tangible anchors to engage the public on climate change
Abstract Over recent decades, our understanding of climate change has accelerated greatly, but unfortunately, observable impacts have increased in tandem. Both mitigation and adaptation have not progressed at the level or scale warranted by our collective knowledge on climate change.

First Documentation of Two Rare Fern Species in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, China
We report two rare ferns in Menglun Sub‐reserve in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, China. These represent the first documented distribution of the previous Laotian endemic fern species in Yunnan and China as well. Our observations confirmed the shared plant diversity in China‐Laos border and also represent the need for more ...

A survey of IUCN Bear Specialist Group (BSG) members revealed that habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation is the greatest threat to each of the 7 species of terrestrial bears. Poaching and human–bear conflicts are also high threats for some of these species.

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

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.

Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,

Abstract Henry George advocated for capturing land value increases for public ends. The active approach of public authorities organizing and financing land development can help capture higher land value increases, as Hartman and Spit indicate. However, this approach hardly happens in developing countries, where the coalition of private developers and ...

Abstract Identifying refugia from emerging threats is vital to ensure the persistence of rare and threatened species, but modeling habitat distribution for these species is challenging and the role of people in refuge management is rarely considered. Myrtle rust is an emerging infectious disease that represents a grave threat to the rare wetland tree ...
