Weaving everyday environmental heritage into modern conservation policy: Insights from Indigenous communities in northern Thailand

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Signatories of global conservation treaties have pledged to support Indigenous peoples' rights and roles in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystems. Movements embracing biocultural concepts (e.g. Indigenous ecological knowledge, cultural ecosystem services) and governance approaches (e.g. sacred natural sites, biosphere reserves) have provided

Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

The Application of Autonomous Fixed‐Wing Drones in the Sub‐Antarctic Operating Beyond Visual Line of Sight to Enable Large Area, Multi‐Species Population Monitoring in a Changing Environment

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Autonomous fixed‐wing drones operating beyond visual line of sight of the pilot were used to conduct the first aerial, multi‐species baseline reference survey at the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia. Long‐term population monitoring in this remote, challenging environment has historically proved difficult, with terrestrial monitoring generally ...

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...
