Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Risks of concealing environmental degradation
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 ...

Psychometric framework for coexistence with large carnivores
Abstract Human–carnivore coexistence is essential for biodiversity conservation, yet measuring the attitudes and behaviors that support it remains methodologically challenging. We developed psychometric scales to assess willingness to coexist with carnivores and the underlying beliefs of this coexistence through an iterative expert elicitation process ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Modeling seed germination data to meet biodiversity conservation needs in the Mediterranean
Workflow to assess the availability and quality of germination data and assign species' thermal risk in the Mediterranean. (a) Assessment of data availability, including the phylogenetic distribution of the number of records (i.e. available germination data); (b) data quality assessment; and (c) assignment of climate risk categories for species that ...

为了快速评估区域电网内所有变电站的主要设备在遭遇地震灾害时的震损风险,文中通过对历年来电力设备的震害调查资料进行统计分析,将区域地震动衰减规律与设备易损性分析过程结合,得到设备在地震作用下的震损概率与震级大小和震中距的关系。在此基础上提出了区域电网内变电站设备损毁情况的震前风险评估与震后快速评估方法,并通过算例进行了模拟评估。结果表明,设备的震损概率—震中距曲线可以表征设备地震易损性随空间分布的特征,是设备震损风险快速评估方法的核心内容;该方法可同时对区域电网内所有变电站进行震损风险评估 ...

Interventions to Reduce Child Poverty and Its Determinants: A Rapid Overview of Reviews
ABSTRACT Despite evidence for various child poverty reduction strategies, there is ambiguity regarding the most effective types to inform policy. Thus, we conducted an overview of reviews to systematically identify, appraise, and synthesize interventions for reducing childhood poverty in high‐income country settings.

ABSTRACT The urgent environmental crisis caused by polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste necessitates efficient upcycling strategies. Herein, we establish a novel pathway to transform waste PET plastic into a high‐performance catalytic material for mediating the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Through a one‐step hydrothermal process, waste PET serves

自然灾害风险评估与分级方法论探研——以山西省地震灾害风险为例
自然灾害发生的可能损失一直是灾害风险评估上的难题。本研究以自然灾害风险评估经典模型为基础,提出了新的自然灾害风险评估与风险等级划分方法,利用历史灾情和孕灾环境解决风险评价中致灾因子破坏力与灾害发生的可能,并以山西省地震灾害风险为例进行了定量化评估研究。主要改进在于:确定灾害损失率和环境参数以建立地震灾害可能损失计算模型,计算承灾体地震灾害风险的可能损失量;用标准差和对数位转换的相关计算对地震灾害风险等级进行划分。案例结果显示:山西全省发生地震灾害,可能损失风险包括房屋破坏风险超过3百万间 ...
