Deciding where to put them: Sensitivity tests and independent evaluation are critical when using species distribution models to inform conservation translocations

Journal of Applied Ecology
Conservation translocations are an important tool for combating species declines and population losses. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate the selection of suitable release sites for translocation programs.

The state of plant conservation in Canada: a survey of practitioners

FACETS
Plants make up more than one quarter of all species listed under Canada’s Species at Risk Act, but very few have improved in status over time. Ineffective legal protections, lack of public awareness, difficulties in prioritizing species, and a scarcity ...

Self‐sustaining populations are a conservation vision, not an operational objective

Conservation Science and Practice
It is common for species conservation plans to identify the establishment or maintenance of a “self‐sustaining population” as an objective. However, this statement vaguely conflates different formulations and interpretations of population viability ...
