Evaluating the potential of biodiversity offsets to achieve net gain
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Evaluating the outcomes and tracking the trajectory of biodiversity offsets is essential to demonstrating their effectiveness as a mechanism to conciliate development and conservation. We reviewed the literature to determine the principles that should underpin biodiversity offset planning and the criteria for offset evaluation at the project ...

Retaining natural vegetation to safeguard biodiversity and humanity
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Global efforts to deliver internationally agreed goals to reduce carbon emissions, halt biodiversity loss, and retain essential ecosystem services have been poorly integrated. These goals rely in part on preserving natural (e.g., native, largely unmodified) and seminatural (e.g., low intensity or sustainable human use) forests, woodlands, and ...

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Dietary recommendations are developed from the best available scientific evidence on the effect of nutrients and food on health. These recommendations take into account that the effect of food depends not only on its nutritional content but also on the matrix in which is ingested, the alterations during the culinary process, the presence of ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 14-26, January 2023., 2023 The planet faces a climate crisis with severe health, economic and environmental consequences. Political actions such as the European Green Deal aim to mitigate climate change by shifting production and consumption patterns, and the production of mycorrhizal sporocarps—the fruiting body of fungi—is no exception. The production of mycorrhizal sporocarps

How percentage‐protected targets can support positive biodiversity outcomes
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Global targets for the percentage area of land protected, such as 30% by 2030, have gained increasing prominence, but both their scientific basis and likely effectiveness have been questioned. As with emissions‐reduction targets based on desired climate outcomes, percentage‐protected targets combine values and science by estimating the area ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract As ecological data and associated analyses become more widely available, synthesizing results for effective communication with stakeholders is essential. In the case of wildlife corridors, managers in human‐dominated landscapes need to identify both the locations of corridors and multiple stakeholders for effective oversight.

Developing shared qualitative models for complex systems
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 1039-1050, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Understanding complex systems is essential to ensure their conservation and effective management. Models commonly support understanding of complex ecological systems and, by extension, their conservation. Modeling, however, is largely a social process constrained by individuals’ mental models (i.e., a small‐scale internal model of how a part ...

Protecting biodiversity and economic returns in resource‐rich tropical forests
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 263-273, February 2021., 2021 Abstract In pursuit of socioeconomic development, many countries are expanding oil and mineral extraction into tropical forests. These activities seed access to remote, biologically rich areas, thereby endangering global biodiversity. We examined how protection of biodiversity and economic revenues can be balanced in biologically valuable regions ...
