The obsolescence of protected area categories in a polycrisis world

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current global conservation models face significant limitations in addressing the global polycrisis, and the constraints of the International Union for Conservation of Nature protected area (PA) classification system are part of the issue. The principles of the new conservation paradigm—governance, equity, and interculturality—are not viable ...

CITES Appendix III: An underused tool for international wildlife trade regulation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Appendix III of CITES allows Parties to unilaterally extend domestic species protections to international trade, yet it remains vastly underused, covering just 1.3% of listed species. Drawing on the complete historical record since 1975, we show that Appendix III is most effective for endemic species and functions as a highly successful staging ...

Small datasets support conservation: Improving detectability for the elusive rusty‐spotted cat

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In western circles, the value of small, locally specific data is increasingly under‐appreciated and undervalued by research metrics indexing research impact. We report novel data for the elusive, threatened, rusty‐spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) whose fundamental ecology remains virtually unknown.

Integrated species distribution modeling to assess species status and current and future threats for an imperiled amphibian

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
To understand the range‐wide drivers of Arizona Toad distribution and anticipate future changes, we combined 13 datasets covering distinct portions of the range in an integrated species distribution model. We estimate that the current occupied range is 1/4–1/3 of previously defined range boundaries and that increasingly dry conditions will lead to ...
