Calibration of the species threat abatement and restoration metric's threat abatement component in a Costa Rican landscape

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving global conservation policy goals requires the ability to set and measure progress toward science‐based targets for biodiversity. The species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric was developed to enable actors to set science‐based targets for species.

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

Defining and identifying relevant stakeholders to advance effective conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The challenge of defining stakeholders in environmental science and an approach for refining existing definitions. Abstract Stakeholder is a contested term that has spawned a multitude of ad hoc definitions. The ambiguity of these definitions has oftentimes impeded transdisciplinary research in environmental governance and conservation science because ...

Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

Providing regular and frequent maps of losses and gains of farmland birds based on European monitoring data

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge of species distributions is essential for informing policies on nature conservation and restoration. However, updating them on a regular basis and doing so in a harmonized manner at the international level is difficult. The European Bird Census Council integrated national monitoring data covering 5 years to update farmland bird ...

The Study of Long Term Care System in Taiwan Area in the Aged Society [PDF]

, 2016
随着社会的发展，世界各国陆续进入了人口老龄化社会。我国同样也面临人口老龄化的压力，根据国家统计局的统计，截止到2014年我国65岁及以上的老年人口占总人口的比例高达10.1%，老龄化形势日益严峻。人口老龄化往往与经济发达、生活富裕联系在一起，但我国却在社会经济发展水平较低的情况下，过早的进入了老龄化社会，“未富先老”更加剧了社会的负担。 现行的基于基础性、普惠性的养老保险制度为老年人提供的仅仅是一种经济补助，难以满足老龄人口的日常生活照顾需求。由于老年时期，人的身体机能衰退、疾病频发 ...

A Natural Language Processing Approach to Identifying Partisan Framing of Climate Change Denialism, Fatalism, and Solutions in US Congressional Speeches

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the evolution of climate change discourse in the United States Congress from 1987 to 2017, employing natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze floor speeches. Using a la carte (ALC) word embeddings, we investigate how Democratic and Republican members of Congress frame climate change, focusing on denialist ...

Research on the Fiscal and Taxation Policy for Boosting China’s Pension Service Industry [PDF]

, 2015
中国的老龄人口数居世界各国之首且老龄化程度日益加深，实行了三十余年的计生政策导致家庭小型化，严重弱化了家庭养老功能，加之我国养老服务业发展起步晚、发展慢且发展不平衡，使得满足社会养老服务需求的任务显得越发紧迫而艰巨。养老服务业作为养老产业的重要组成部分，其产品具有准公共产品的特性，需要国家政策的支持和帮扶，才能获得社会资源的有效配置。本文从财税的视角出发，依据财税政策对于产品供给和需求的影响理论，通过借鉴东 ...
