Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has

Evaluating GEDI for quantifying forest structure across a gradient of degradation in Amazonian rainforests

Environmental Research Letters
Forest structure is key to understanding the resilience of tropical forests (their ability to recover from disturbance) and predicting how these ecosystems will respond to future environmental and climatic fluctuations.
