Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

The need for clarity in species conservation objectives

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Identifying sensible conservation objectives should probably be easiest when planning an investment portfolio designed for a single species. However, focusing on African Elephant conservation, we show that optimal investment differs substantially depending on relatively small differences in objectives, that recent allocation was rarely the most ...
