Prevalence of sustainable and unsustainable use of wild species inferred from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Unsustainable exploitation of wild species represents a serious threat to biodiversity and to the livelihoods of local communities and Indigenous peoples. However, managed, sustainable use has the potential to forestall extinctions, aid recovery, and meet human needs.

Importance of timely metadata curation to the global surveillance of genetic diversity. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2023
Abstract Genetic diversity within species represents a fundamental yet underappreciated level of biodiversity. Because genetic diversity can indicate species resilience to changing climate, its measurement is relevant to many national and global conservation policy targets.

Implications of global distributive justice principles for implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract In the era of the sixth mass extinction, reversing global biodiversity loss is of vital importance for life on Earth. In 2022, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a strategic plan with 23 action‐oriented targets to be achieved by 2030.

A global indicator of species recovery. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Monitoring progress toward meeting global biodiversity goals involves several indicators, including, at the species level, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI) and the Living Planet Index (LPI). However, at present, there is no indicator specifically for tracking species recovery, despite this being ...

Changes in Key Biodiversity Area networks following national comprehensive assessments. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Making comprehensive assessments of Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) networks in a country greatly increases their number and area. Countries that have not yet done so will be missing about half of these globally significant sites and missing the opportunity to get 30 × 30 conservation in the right places. Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are sites of

Legal and economic perspectives on fair and equitable benefit sharing in the Nagoya Protocol. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Adopted in 2010 as a supplementary agreement to the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, the Nagoya Protocol (NP) mandates the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources provided by Indigenous peoples. Member states must newly enact or amend domestic laws to align with the NP.

Three-dimensional conservation planning of fish biodiversity metrics to achieve the deep-sea 30×30 conservation target. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Accelerating rate of human impact and environmental change severely affects marine biodiversity and increases the urgency to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 30×30 plan for conserving 30% of sea areas by 2030. However, area‐based conservation targets are complex to identify in a 3‐dimensional (3D) ocean where deep‐sea ...

Lessons from a Rubik's Cube to solve the biodiversity crisis. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Global biodiversity is facing unprecedented pressures, calling into question the effectiveness of existing governance systems aimed at halting extinctions. Renewed hope arose with the recent Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15 December 2022) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered ...
