Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.

How identity bias affects perceptions of conservation messages on social media
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Public support is essential for conservation, as public opinion can influence decision‐making and policy. Therefore, understanding whether bias toward conservationists due to their identity (identity bias) affects their perceived credibility and support for their recommendations is important.

Exploring legal‐ and health‐risk messaging to reduce demand for elephant skin
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are poached for an illegal trade in their skins, which are used in traditional medicine in Africa and Asia. We explored whether messages about the legal and health risks of using elephant skin for medicinal purposes (stomach illness) could reduce such consumption.
