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 ...

大量的洗钱案例和监管实践表明,商业银行面临较大的洗钱风险。目前国内外关于商业银行洗钱风险自评估已有不少的政策,商业银行也日益重视并加强反洗钱工作,但主要精力集中在合规履职上,对风险的认识依然不足,在洗钱风险自评估方面仍存在较多问题。同时,监管资源的稀缺性决定了监管部门不可能投入足够的资源对商业银行开展长期、持续的洗钱风险评估。因此,有必要从机制建设、系统开发和监管工具应用等方面引导商业银行构建一个具有高度可操作性的洗钱风险自评估体系,在监管部门的指导下持续识别、评估和防范洗钱风险。国家社会科学基金项目 ...

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 ...

Neutral interactions among non‐native plants are common
Global distribution of studies and overall effect of co‐invasion for all metrics of non‐native plant performance combined. Summary Globalization has accelerated the establishment of non‐native plant species, increasing the prevalence of multispecies co‐invasions; yet interactions among co‐invaders remain poorly understood.
