Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Risks of concealing environmental degradation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Current practice seeks to conceal the visual impact of land‐use change (i.e., development). Six percent of development impact assessments in Australia and 14% of the World Bank's assessments recommend visual impact mitigation. This mitigation results in, for example, vegetated buffer strips alongside cleared agricultural areas and earthen ...

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2002 利用1988年,2000年的遥感图像数据,求得吉林省松原市沙区土地利用变化的转移矩阵,根据计算结果,分析探讨了松原市沙区监测期间土地利用变化特征及区域差异。结果表明:松原市沙区土地利用变化显著,耕地、林地大幅度增加,草地与未利用地减少且空间差异明显,土地利用变化的主要驱动力是人口增长和土地收益高低。在此基础上探讨了土地利用变化方向对该区土地沙化演化的影响,研究表明:耕地向草地和林地的转移有利于沙化的逆转,林地向草地和耕地转移会使沙化进一步发展。

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 94-101, June 2026.Although once abundant across its range, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are purportedly declining. While range maps indicate that gray fox potentially occur throughout the central United States, contemporary distribution maps are needed. We developed a Habitat Suitability Model for six states, leveraging gray fox presence data in an ensemble ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Recognition and engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) and other traditional knowledge (TK) holders in formal biodiversity governance remain limited, despite their significant contribution to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through their knowledge, innovations, practices, and land stewardship.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract In the western United States, conservation practitioners are increasingly working with private landowners to restore habitat for North American beavers (Castor canadensis) and to use nonlethal mitigation techniques when beavers damage crops and infrastructure.

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract There is a need to quantify the impact of habitat loss due to anthropogenic factors on different aspects of biodiversity, such as functional trait diversity represented by functional groups (FGs). We developed a metric to assess the weighted risk of loss of habitat for 33 FGs of mammals and 36 FGs of birds in Mexico based on potential ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.
