Large-sized polystyrene microplastics induce oxidative stress in AML12 cells

Scientific Reports
Microplastics (MPs), particularly those exceeding 20 μm in diameter, are increasingly detected in environment and animal tissues, yet their cytotoxicity remains poorly understood. While existing studies focused on MPs with relatively small sizes (≤ 20 μm)

Global protected area impacts [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
Protected areas (PAs) dominate conservation efforts. They will probably play a role in future climate policies too, as global payments may reward local reductions of loss of natural land cover. We estimate the impact of PAs on natural land cover within each of 147 countries by comparing outcomes inside PAs with outcomes outside.

Privately protected areas increase global protected area coverage and connectivity

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022
Privately protected areas (PPAs) are increasing in number and extent. Yet, we know little about their contribution to conservation and how this compares to other forms of protected area (PA). We address this gap by assessing the contribution of 17,561 PPAs to the coverage, complementarity and connectivity of existing PA networks in 15 countries across ...

Protected areas and poverty [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015
Protected areas are controversial because they are so important for conservation and because they distribute fortune and misfortune unevenly. The nature of that distribution, as well as the terrain of protected areas themselves, have been vigorously contested.
