Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and ...

Geographic risks to functional groups of mammals and birds from habitat loss in Mexico
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.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 ...

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 191-220, January 2026.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 ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 362-380, September 2025.Occurrences of dust storms and long‐distance movement of dust across landscapes is constantly increasing in south Asia. This dust is expected to have profound impact on vegetation health and sustainability as dust may contribute to nutrient budgets of the forest ecosystems, while it could impart various stresses to the plants.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 503-513, September 2025.Fire occurrence increased with proximity to roads and villages, indicating that human access and activity are major drivers of fire risk. We analyzed spatial patterns of fire in relation to human settlements. Our findings highlight the need for fire management strategies that consider accessibility and human presence in conservation planning.
