Centering geospatial data uncertainty and the potential for injustice in pastoralist rangeland conservation prioritization

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Procedural, distributional, recognitional, and epistemic justice aspects of conservation interventions are well documented in contexts where pastoralism is a key livelihood and way of life. Geospatial analyses and representations of wildlife conservation and restoration that are increasingly applied in pastoralist rangeland socioecological ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
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

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia.

Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

Identifying sensible conservation objectives should probably be easiest when planning an investment portfolio designed for a single species. However, focusing on African Elephant conservation, we show that optimal investment differs substantially depending on relatively small differences in objectives, that recent allocation was rarely the most ...
