Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

The silent elephant in the room: Observed differences in calling behavior of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in a fragmented West African forest

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Small, fragmented populations of critically endangered species require different conservation strategies than large, contiguous populations, as they are vulnerable to local extinction, demographic shifts, and behavior changes. Effective management necessitates regular, systematic surveys to detect early warning signs of decline and facilitate ...

Underestimation of avian diversity in the Tumbesian hotspot: Sampling gaps and conservation challenges

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study provides the first comprehensive reassessment of avian diversity in the Tumbesian region in over 30 years, documenting 931 species and identifying significant sampling gaps driven by geographic accessibility. We reveal a critical misalignment between biodiversity value and current protection coverage, particularly in humid forests which ...

Local perceptions of Asiatic black bear conservation in a subsistence agriculture community of Mustang, Nepal

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Household surveys in Kunjo, Mustang district examined local perceptions of Asiatic black bear conservation, crop damage, and human‐bear interactions. Crop damage was greater near forest edges, while more than half of households have negative attitude towards bear conservation. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating local perceptions and

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This work evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the Critically Endangered Jambato Harlequin Frog (Atelopus ignescens)—an iconic species once thought extinct and now known only from a single locality in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA in detecting the Jambato in a low‐density amphibian population,
