Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The decline of forest ecosystems due to anthropogenic pressures directly threatens the wildlife that depends on them. These pressures extend even to protected areas, undermining their role as sanctuaries for animal species.

Dehesas as high nature value farming systems: a social-ecological synthesis of drivers, pressures, state, impacts, and responses

Ecology and Society, 2021
Dehesas and montados are Mediterranean agroforestry systems characterized by scattered oak trees with an understory grazed extensively by livestock and, in some cases, periodically cropped.

Impact of climate change on the distribution and predicted habitat suitability of two fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus and Epomophorus labiatus) in Ethiopia: Implications for conservation

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Fruit bats serve as crucial bioindicators, seed dispersers, pollinators, and contributors to food security within ecosystems. However, their population and distribution were threatened by climate change and anthropogenic pressures.

Are marine protected areas an adaptation measure against climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems? A UK case study

Nature-Based Solutions, 2022
Climate change is impacting marine seascapes against a backdrop of multiple anthropogenic stressors. These current impacts are projected to increase in the future with increasing warming, acidification, oxygen loss, and sea level rise.

Multiple pressures and vegetation conditions shape the spatiotemporal variations of ecosystem services in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Human activities and environmental change can impact the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) as pressures. Understanding the mechanisms of these impacts is crucial to support ecological conservation and restoration policy and applications.

Twelve Recommendations for Advancing Marine Conservation in European and Contiguous Seas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Like most ocean regions today, the European and contiguous seas experience cumulative impacts from local human activities and global pressures. They are largely in poor environmental condition with deteriorating trends.
