To Conserve or Not to Conserve: Is Status the Question?

Environment and Behavior, 2009
Previous research has demonstrated that environmentally friendly behavior is perceived as low status, which can explain why such behavior is not more widespread. However, greater awareness of environmental issues and the advent of a “green” movement may have seen a change in those attitudes. As some conservation behaviors used in past research may have

Global conservation status of sponges

Conservation Biology, 2015
Abstract Sponges are important for maintaining ecosystem function and integrity of marine and freshwater benthic communities worldwide. Despite this, there has been no assessment of their current global conservation status. We assessed their status, accounting for the distribution of research effort; patterns of temporal variation in ...

Assessing conservation status and units for conservation

2012
This chapter addresses three questions for assessing carnivore conservation status and units for conservation: how to assess the risk of extinction for carnivore populations; how to identify and delineate carnivore conservation units; and how to assess, monitor, and manage carnivore conservation units.

The conservation status of Saintpaulia

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, 1998
introduction This paper is a preliminary assessment of the conservation status of Saintpaulia H. Wendl. in both the wild and in cultivation. The genus Saintpaulia has been promoted as a botanical ‘panda’ symbolizing the decline of the tropical moist forests, particularly the Eastern Arc mountains of East Africa.

A Review of the Conservation Status of Neotropical Mammals

2021
The Neotropical region is probably the most biodiverse on the planet. It contains around 1700 species of mammals grouped in 15 orders. The number of species in each of them is very variable, ranging from a single species in Microbiotheria to more than 800 in Rodentia.

The Conservation Status of Hypogean Fishes

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2001
Hypogean fishes are susceptible to five main threats: habitat degradation, hydrological manipulations, environmental pollution, overexploitation, and introduced alien species. Because they are endemic to small areas and have small populations, any threat could have serious consequences.

Towards the Computational Assessment of the Conservation Status of a Habitat

2023
We propose methods to automatically assess the conservation status of a habitat. Habitat monitoring is usually performed by botanists and other specialists in their field work, searching for the presence or lack of typical plant species (Evans D, Arvela M (2011) Assessment and reporting under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive.

Current status and conservation of Pistacia germplasm

Biotechnology Advances, 2010
The genetic erosion of Pistacia germplasm has been highlighted in many reports. In order to emphasize this and to focus more attention on this subject, national and international (especially IPGRI and IFAR) institutions have initiated projects proposing to characterize, collect and conserve Pistacia germplasm.

Status, conservation, and the future

2005
Abstract When I first visited Hawai’i in 1974, I was opti-mistic about the Hawaiian honeycreepers. After all, even though many were very rare, several had been rediscovered in the previous decade, and a new one had just been found on the windward slope of Haleakala.
