Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.

Prioritization of Users in Ecosystem Service Valuation: Implications for the Design of Differentiated Conservation Policies

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
These findings support the proposal of differentiated conservation strategies aligned with the social priorities of various educational groups. It is concluded that public conservation policies must incorporate the diversity of social perceptions as an essential element for achieving sustainable and participatory environmental management.

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Modeling nature‐based restoration potential across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and

Role of science and scientists in public environmental policy debates: The case of EU agrochemical and Nature Restoration Regulations

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 1772-1788, August 2025.
Abstract Halting biodiversity loss, mitigating global warming and maintaining the long‐term viability of rural and urban areas requires urgent policy action. However, environmental policies often trigger resistance and highly polarised public debates, with some actors employing pseudo‐scientific claims.

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network.
