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

Conservation 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 ...

Leveraging urban greenspaces to bolster regional conservation priorities

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that urban greenspaces currently excluded from the San Francisco Bay Area's regional conservation plan offer significant, measurable conservation value. We found these overlooked areas host vital biodiversity and critically improve habitat connectivity, highlighting that incorporating urban greenspaces will be key in meeting ...

Pairing ecological modeling and human dimensions in structured decision making: Road management for a declining species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Structured decision making (SDM) is an effective framework for addressing complex natural resource problems, but few applications have incorporated substantive social science—particularly, human dimensions methods—to more fully characterize socioecological components of these problems. We describe an SDM process that paired ecological models with human

Disparities in delegation size and their implications for equitable participation at CITES CoP meetings

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We analyzed delegation size, voting records, and working‐group rosters across five CITES Conferences of the Parties (CoP16–20) to examine how Party‐level traits predict delegation size and how delegation size shapes participation when Committees meet concurrently.

Challenges and recommendations for improving the caviar labeling system

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List classifies sturgeon as the most endangered species. Illegal trade still poses a significant threat today. In 2000, a universal labeling system was introduced for the international caviar trade. This letter discusses the current state of labeling and suggests ways to improve it.
