Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.

The value of saltbush revegetation for biodiversity in a highly fragmented landscape
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Saltbush revegetation provides limited value for faunal biodiversity. Saltbush has the lowest species richness and diversity of ants, spiders, and birds. Remnant habitats continue to provide the most important habitats for native species. Abstract Secondary salinization is a significant global issue affecting up to 1 billion hectares of land, impacting

Where leopards die: identifying mortality hotspots in northern Pakistan
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The relevance of this work to conservation policy and practice is twofold. First, it offers concrete spatial insights that can directly inform the design of targeted mitigation strategies and proactive interventions. Second, it highlights the limitations of current protected area networks and underscores the urgent need to incorporate human‐dominated ...
