Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the

Changes in the transformative potential of action proposals in Finnish Red Lists from 1986 to 2019

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Red lists provide critical knowledge regarding biodiversity decline, especially in Finland, where broad assessments have been made regularly since the 1980s. They deliver information on the threat status of species and ecosystems, propose actions to guide conservation policy, and have the potential to spur transformative change.

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...
