Evaluating protected areas' coverage of threats to terrestrial biodiversity. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are vital for biodiversity conservation and have expanded globally. However, increasing pressures on biodiversity make it difficult to achieve conservation goals. Using threat probability maps based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List and the World Database of Protected Areas, we analyzed the ...

Differences in estimates of extinction risk between occupancy and abundance data. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Temporal trends in populations are often measured with presence–absence and abundance data. These data types are inherently different, but quantitative comparisons of threat statuses assessed through occupancy or abundance data are currently lacking.

Classification of direct threats to the conservation of ecosystems and species 4.0. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and ...

Backsliding among indicators of democratic stability relevant to public health: Risks in OECD nations

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 455-475, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Oppression and inequality, as critical social and structural determinants of health, are key threats to public health. Democratic stability provides institutional measures to mitigate oppression and inequality. We investigate trends in democratic backsliding in the Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) nations, overall,

Red‐list status and extinction risk of the world's whales, dolphins, and porpoises

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract To understand the scope and scale of the loss of biodiversity, tools are required that can be applied in a standardized manner to all species globally, spanning realms from land to the open ocean. We used data from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List to provide a synthesis of the conservation status and extinction ...

Metrics for quantifying how much different threats contribute to red lists of species and ecosystems

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Red lists are a crucial tool for the management of threatened species and ecosystems. Among the information red lists provide, the threats affecting the listed species or ecosystem, such as pollution or hunting, are of special relevance.

Genetic diversity and IUCN Red List status

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is an important and widely used tool for conservation assessment. The IUCN uses information about a species’ range, population size, habitat quality and fragmentation levels, and trends in abundance to assess extinction risk.

Understanding the drivers of expert opinion when classifying species as extinct

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The criteria as laid out by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List are the gold standard by which the extinction risk of a species is assessed and where appropriate biological extinctions are declared. However, unlike all other categories, the category of extinct lacks a quantitative framework for assigning this

Assessing protected area vulnerability to climate change in a case study of South African national parks

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Climate change is challenging the ability of protected areas (PAs) to meet their objectives. To improve PA planning, we developed a framework for assessing PA vulnerability to climate change based on consideration of potential climate change impacts on species and their habitats and resource use.
