Impact of climate change on the hydrology of High Mountain Asia

, 2016
In Asia, water resources largely depend on water generated in the mountainous upstream parts of several large river basins and hundreds of millions of people depend on their waters downstream. The large-scale impacts of climate change for the water resources in High Mountain Asia are poorly understood, because the area has a complex climate, which is ...

Community perceptions and management of the fleshy‐fruited invasive alien plant Pyracantha angustifolia: Insights from South Africa's Montane grasslands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive alien plants can provide economic or cultural benefits to local communities, influencing perceptions and potentially affecting management decisions. Understanding these perceptions is crucial to avoiding inefficiencies, misunderstandings and conflicts in the management of invasive alien species.

Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

The soul of the soil: Unearthing a Nation's eco‐empathy through 1200 years of Persian poetry

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Cultivating a profound sense of connection with the natural world, conceptualized as eco‐empathy, is increasingly recognized as a vital precursor to effective environmental stewardship. While scientific data frame ecological crises, literary traditions offer a unique archive for tracing the history of this empathetic bond. This study positions

Examining the multi‐disciplinary origins of biophobia towards threatening and non‐threatening wildlife in a highly urbanised city in China

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urbanisation is reshaping how people experience wildlife, reducing our shared spaces with local biodiversity. Fewer opportunities for human–wildlife interactions weaken our emotional attachments to nature and precipitate a loss of species knowledge and familiarity.
