Legacy effects of locally extinct flagship species on protected areas

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Protected areas (PAs) are often established to conserve flagship megafauna so as to mobilize political support and secure sustained conservation investment, with the expectation that flagship‐centered governance will also protect habitat. Despite such efforts, flagship species can experience extirpation, raising a fundamental question: do conservation ...

Croatia - Management of Wildfire Risk

Wildfire risk is increasing in Croatia. Between 2010 and 2021, the cost of damage due to wildfires across the country totaled over Euro 249 million; the 2017 fire season burned 67,666 ha of land and caused an estimated Euro 109 million in losses; and the 2022 season recorded 149 fires. Even within the span of one year, in 2024, 21 percent more open-air

Towards wildfire risk reduction goals and targets for Europe – Opportunities and challenges

Climate Risk Management
The impact of wildfires is increasing worldwide. The root causes of these effects are manifold, encompassing among others climate change and the accumulation of fuels and increasing settlements in wildland-urban interfaces (WUI).

Is There a Link Between Actual and Perceived Wildfire Danger? [PDF]

Over the last 20 years, costs for wildfire initial attack in the U.S. have increased significantly. The increased cost relates to wildfire suppression practices as well as the growing number of wildland urban interface (WUI) homes.

Beyond political risk: Toward a holistic understanding of multinational enterprise resilience in the era of cascading crises

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article develops a conceptual framework for understanding multinational enterprise (MNE) resilience in the era of cascading crises. We define resilience as the MNE's capacity to absorb disruption, maintain or restore functioning, and reconfigure operations as conditions shift.

Optimal wildfire insurance in the wildland-urban interface in the presence of a government subsidy for fire risk mitigation [PDF]

We investigate the effectiveness of a government subsidy and mitigation based insurance contracts at discouraging migration into the wildland interface and at inducing incentives for risk mitigation.

Climatic Drivers of the Area Burned by Winter Wildfires in Northern Italy

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study investigates winter wildfires occurring between November and April in northern Italy over the period 2008–2022. By integrating high‐resolution burned‐area data with gridded climatic indices derived from 150 weather stations, it identifies spatial and temporal wildfire patterns, highlights the most fire‐prone mountain areas through pixel ...
