Land tenure contributions to protected area growth under alternative conservation targets in the Australian monsoon tropics. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract As the global protected area (PA) network expands to meet international targets, it is important to assess whether traditional reliance on public land will suffice for projected PA growth or whether other tenures, such as Indigenous or pastoral lands, may increasingly contribute.

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.

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 ...

Effects of landscape fragmentation on floodplain fishes as revealed by species-habitat networks. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract How species interact with habitat patches is influenced primarily by habitat configuration (e.g., connectivity) and species’ functional traits. As levels of fragmentation increase, identifying the intricate connections between these components is crucial for biodiversity conservation.

Identifying priority areas for conservation to promote connectivity and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.

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

Using lessons from criminal justice research to improve conservation law enforcement research and practice. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Urgency to save species from extinction has prompted increased investment in law enforcement in protected areas. To date, such law enforcement has largely focused on increasing costs and reducing opportunities for offending. However, these resource‐intensive approaches are not always effective and can contribute to conflict between people and ...
