Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

CITES Appendix III: An underused tool for international wildlife trade regulation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Appendix III of CITES allows Parties to unilaterally extend domestic species protections to international trade, yet it remains vastly underused, covering just 1.3% of listed species. Drawing on the complete historical record since 1975, we show that Appendix III is most effective for endemic species and functions as a highly successful staging ...

Change in habitat over time for the rare, endemic Pediocactus paradinei

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Pediocactus paradinei is a rare endemic cactus on the Colorado Plateau that may be increasingly vulnerable to ongoing ecological and climatic change. In 2022, we resampled ecological monitoring plots originally surveyed in 2005 to assess changes in vegetation, habitat conditions, and characteristics related to pollinator habitat across the species ...

Thirty‐year elephant population trends across 93 South African reserves and the implications for conservation management

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract While ivory poaching has driven elephant declines across much of Africa, South Africa's populations have expanded steadily, sparking debate over ecological impacts and population control. Yet these debates have lacked a harmonized, long‐term national evidence base.

Removing wolves did not reliably prevent domestic animal losses

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Exploiting a rare, modest increase in data, we review five recent studies of killing gray wolves to protect domestic animals and produce a cross‐study consensus conclusion. From the five field studies, we find consensus that killing wolves to protect domestic animals, as currently practiced, was highly unpredictable.

Speculation in the United Kingdom, 1785‒2019

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Speculation has long been thought to have significant economic effects, but it is difficult to measure, making it challenging to examine these effects empirically. In this paper we measure speculation in the United Kingdom since 1785 by using business and financial reporting in The Times newspaper.

Extreme weather and economic crisis in the 1430s in England, and the implications for tenurial change

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Benefitting from brutality? Profits of north‐western Europe's slave trade at the eve of the industrial revolution

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the most contentious issues in the study of the Atlantic slave trade is the profitability of the trade. In this paper, we contribute by pooling all available data on transatlantic slave ship voyage accounts into a joint dataset. This dataset includes data from a period of 100 years (1730–1830) and from five nations (Denmark, France ...
