The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

World Water Policy, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1170-1186, November 2024.Abstract Sustainable land management (SLM) practices is a key to reducing rates of land degradation and has proven to ensure water security by increasing soil moisture availability, decreasing surface runoff, decreasing soil erosion, increasing infiltration, and decreasing flood discharge. Land degradation is adversely affecting over 75% of the Earth's

Dams in intrastate ethnic conflict: A comparison of Turkey and Ethiopia
World Water Policy, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1044-1065, November 2024.Abstract Why do dams exacerbate ethnic conflict in Turkey but not in Ethiopia? This paper analyzes the impacts of a growing push to develop water resources through hydroelectric dams, which promise clean energy, jobs, and economic opportunities. Yet dam building also causes environmental degradation, mass relocation, the flooding of historical sites ...
