Public opinion toward pangolin and tokay gecko medicinal trade reveals significant differences in attitude and knowledge aspects but not in the percentage of hypothetical users. It is thus interesting to investigate hypothetical user profiles and the driving factors behind their choices. Setting up legal protection status for species is found to be the

Abstract Queensland experienced relatively low case numbers during the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. This may be due to timely, stringent policies, yet there is currently no research evaluating this link, despite the state government playing such a primary role in the pandemic response.

Ecological knowledge and value of traded species: Local awareness of native turtles in Hainan, China
Wildlife trade is driving species extinctions globally, and the Asian Turtle Crisis is posing a threat to turtle species that are collected from the wild. To assess local people's awareness of potentially traded species, we conducted an interview around a key protected area in Hainan, China, by investigating relationships between species' salience ...

Four challenges to an effective national nature assessment
Abstract Comprehensive biodiversity assessments play an essential role in strengthening global and national conservation strategies. The recently announced first U.S. National Nature Assessment (NNA) provides an unparalleled opportunity to comprehensively review status and trends of biodiversity at all levels.

Spatial mismatch between wild bee diversity hotspots and protected areas
Abstract Wild bees are critical for multiple ecosystem functions but are currently threatened. Understanding the determinants of the spatial distribution of wild bee diversity is a major research gap for their conservation. We modeled wild bee α and β taxonomic and functional diversity in Switzerland to uncover countrywide diversity patterns and ...

How much biotic nativeness matters across human demographic groups
Abstract Many central concepts of conservation biology—such as nativeness—are structured by ecological and social factors. However, the social consequences of using these concepts to make conservation decisions remain inadequately understood. Some researchers argue that nativeness, rather than acting as an objective proxy for important ecological ...

Characterizing China's Illegal Trade in Avifauna on Social Media 中国社交媒体上非法鸟类贸易的特征分析
Worldwide, illegal wildlife trade is an increasing threat to species conservation. Here, we used the social media data to characterize China's illegal online trade in avifauna for conservation implications. Our results found that 178 avian species have been posted online for illegal trading. ABSTRACT The illegal wildlife trade poses a growing threat to
