Biodiversity conservation in a telecoupled world: a framework

Proceedings of the 5th European Congress of Conservation Biology, 2018
Telecoupling is a global process that increasingly dominates land-use interactions and trade. Despite its obvious large implications for biodiversity conservation, how to manage telecoupled forces and how to implement biodiversity conservation policies in the light of telecoupling has received little attention.
