Status and future of seed conservation of threatened plants in the post‐2020 era

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ambitious targets have been set to backup seeds of threatened plants by the global strategy for plant conservation (GSPC), but it is unclear in how far these targets have been met and how seed collection should be organized to meet future challenges. Here, we provide an overview of the status of 44 countries in achieving seed conservation targets.

Analysis of the suitability for ecotourism in Beira Baixa region using a spatial decision support system based on a geographical information system

open access: yesRegional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Ecotourism can contribute to the conservation of environmental values, as well as to the development of positive synergies between agents in the tourism sector, tourists and the local population. The growing interest in tourism offers with low environmental impact, which support the local economy, translates into a competitive advantage for ...

The management of Natura 2000 Network sites: a discrete choice experiment approach [PDF]

open access: yes
One of the main problems that public institutions face in the management of protected areas, such as the European Natura 2000 network, is how to design and implement sustainable management plans accounting both for the social cost and benefits of ...

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.
