Trends in deforestation and forest degradation after a decade of monitoring in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2014
Abstract We used aerial photographs, satellite images, and field surveys to monitor forest cover in the core zones of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico from 2001 to 2012. We used our data to assess the effectiveness of conservation actions that involved local, state, and federal authorities and community members (e.g., local landowners ...

Bird species occupancy trends in Southeast Mexico over 1900–2020: Accounting for sighting record absences

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 606-618, March 2023., 2023
This article accounts for species absences before occupancy analyses, addressing a long‐standing concern of whether absence is true or due to low sampling effort. The authors affiliate long‐term bird species trends with functional traits in a lowland tropical rainforest landscape in southeast Mexico to help guide land management and conservation ...

Modelling habitat suitability for a potential flagship species, the hooded capuchin, of the Paraguayan Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 3, July–September 2022., 2022
The hooded capuchin in the Paraguayan Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest is a forest obligate species and avoids crop fields. The monkeys are less likely to be found in degraded areas even if they are still forested. As Paraguayan deforestation involves the creation of large crop fields separating BAAPA fragments, the probability that the hooded capuchin can

Transcending capitalism growth strategies for biodiversity conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract The unlimited economic growth that fuels capitalism's metabolism has profoundly transformed a large portion of Earth. The resulting environmental destruction has led to an unprecedented rate of biodiversity loss. Following large‐scale losses of habitats and species, it was recognized that biodiversity is crucial to maintaining functional ...

Disaster Colonialism: A Commentary on Disasters beyond Singular Events to Structural Violence

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 126-135, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Disasters are often, outside disaster studies, viewed as singularities. This characterization of disaster disallows analysis of racial violence and dispossession structurally instituted across multiple disasters. As a result, repeatedly poor pre‐disaster and post‐disaster planning is leveraged to displace and disenfranchise marginalized ...

An agenda for research and action toward diverse and just futures for life on Earth

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 1086-1097, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Decades of research and policy interventions on biodiversity have insufficiently addressed the dual issues of biodiversity degradation and social justice. New approaches are therefore needed. We devised a research and action agenda that calls for a collective task of revisiting biodiversity toward the goal of sustaining diverse and just ...

Mapping the rights‐implementation gap in Forest Landscape Restoration: evidence from Mexico

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The inclusion of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) in Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is central to international agendas. Yet, the understanding of how national frameworks operationalize this principle through concrete mechanisms for IPLC participation and rights recognition remains limited.

Implications of global distributive justice principles for implementation of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
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.
