Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Comparing screening outcomes for private sector nature‐related assessments based on national and global biodiversity datasets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to demand for better biodiversity stewardship from the private sector, frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature‐related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) have been developed to help companies assess, manage, and disclose their nature‐related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities.

Risk reduction, rangeland use, and the future of human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Efforts to reduce livestock losses to large carnivores are widely regarded as essential for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Predator‐proof enclosures, compensation programs, improved livestock guarding, and real‐time predator alert systems can reduce depredation and retaliatory killing while enhancing pastoralist livelihoods.

Evaluation of rangeland conditions through field survey and NDVI in semi-arid area of Dubluk district Southern Ethiopia

Discover Environment
Rangelands play a crucial role in Ethiopia’s rural economy, ecological biodiversity, and food security. However, their condition at the local level remains inadequately documented, limiting timely responses to degradation.

Application of Normalized Radar Backscatter and Hyperspectral Data to Augment Rangeland Vegetation Fractional Classification

Remote Sensing
Rangeland ecosystems in the western United States are vulnerable to climate change, fire, and anthropogenic disturbances, yet classification of rangeland areas remains difficult due to frequently sparse vegetation canopies that increase the influence of ...

EVALUATION AND MAPPING OF RANGELANDS DEGRADATION USING REMOTELY SENSED DATA [PDF]

Sociedade & Natureza, 2005
The empirical and scientifically documents prove that misuse of natural resource causes degradation in it. So natural resources conservation is important in approaching sustainable development aims.

Integrating Indigenous knowledge and modern statistical approaches to model wildlife density based on animal track counts

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In multiuse areas outside formal protection, sustaining both wildlife and people is critical to wildlife conservation and coexistence efforts. Botswana's Kalahari hosts one of sub‐Saharan Africa’s largest unprotected areas supporting free‐ranging wildlife.

Love your wet grass! Dry season grazing reserves show highest grass regrowth in communal semi-arid rangelands of Tanzania.

PLoS ONE
Land management by seasonal migratory herding, traditionally implemented by pastoralists, has allowed semi-arid rangeland ecosystems to remain productive and resilient to highly erratic, seasonal rainfall patterns.

Areas of high risk for mammalian biodiversity and nature's contributions to people under global warming

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.
