Assessing protected area vulnerability to climate change in a case study of South African national parks. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Climate change is challenging the ability of protected areas (PAs) to meet their objectives. To improve PA planning, we developed a framework for assessing PA vulnerability to climate change based on consideration of potential climate change impacts on species and their habitats and resource use.

Coexistence and habitat restoration planning for the reintroduction of Spix's macaw. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii) is one of the world's most endangered species. Native to the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil—a region marked by significant socioeconomic vulnerability—the species was considered extinct in the wild in 2000. A reintroduction project, however, returned it to its natural habitat in 2022. The long‐term success of

Habitat use of and threats to African large carnivores in a mixed-use landscape. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Large carnivores increasingly inhabit human‐affected landscapes, which exhibit heterogeneity in biotic resources, anthropogenic pressures, and management strategies. Understanding large carnivore habitat use in these systems is critical for their conservation, as is the evaluation of competing management approaches and the impacts of ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 633-641, October 2023., 2023 We found that outdoor recreation alters the vertebrate scavenger assemblage and carrion removal. Larger scavenger species are most affected, especially raptors. Furthermore, human activities promote the presence of non‐native species in the ecosystem. Therefore, areas of restricted access are essential to preserve biodiversity and ecological processes ...

Estimating the cumulative impact and zone of influence of anthropogenic features on biodiversity
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 2362-2375, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The concept of cumulative impacts is widespread in policy documents, regulations and ecological studies, but quantification methods are still evolving. Infrastructure development usually takes place in landscapes with preexisting anthropogenic features. Typically, their impact is determined by computing the distance to the nearest feature only,

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 1262-1283, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Cities have pushed forward re‐naturing initiatives in local planning agendas. Discourses and rationales for such interventions tend to follow instrumental framings often narrowed down to the economic, health and ecological benefits of nature's contributions to people (NCP).

‘Long term impacts of a mega event: Case study Weymouth (London 2012)’
International Journal of Tourism Research, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 221-235, March/April 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper investigates the long‐term impacts of a mega event, using the case of the London 2012 Olympics' impacts on Weymouth and Portland (as a joint destination in Southern England). The study used the 2 sets of data, collected in 2003 and 2017, containing the residents' perceptions before and after the event.

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1387-1400, October 2022., 2022 Abstract The emergence of infectious diseases, such as COVID‐19, impacts livelihood strategies and conservation tools reliant on human‐wildlife interactions, such as wildlife‐based tourism and research. This is particularly relevant to great ape conservation, as humans and great apes are susceptible to being infected by similar pathogens.
