An effective model for community‐based conservation around authorized fishing settlements inside a devolved Wildlife Management Area in southern Tanzania

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study examines the relationship between community‐defined land use plans and de facto land use practices, and the influence of the latter on the relative abundance and distribution of large wild mammals across the Ifakara‐Lupiro‐Mangula (ILUMA) WMA, which acts as a key buffer zone between Nyerere National Park (NNP) to the east and adjacent ...

Conservation effectiveness of seven biosphere reserves in the Western Amazon

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
As deforestation continues to threaten the Amazon, assessing the effectiveness of area‐based conservation strategies is critical for achieving global biodiversity targets. Using matching methods, we evaluated deforestation avoidance in seven biosphere reserves in the Western Amazon and found that most have reduced forest loss, particularly in buffer ...

Conservation priorities for Neotropical water striders (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerridae) under climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Hydrologic changes driven by climate change are affecting aquatic biota in the Neotropical Region, with significant impacts on water striders. Species distribution models predict an increase in conservation importance for the northern Andes and coastal areas of eastern South America, while central South America shows a decline. The observed changes are

Limited elephant impacts on baobabs despite increasing elephant densities in a newly established protected area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...
