Anthropogenic alteration of tropical and subtropical forests is a major driver of biodi-versity loss, with the Chaco forest, the largest dry forest in the Americas, among the most impacted regions. Sustainable forest man...

Background and Objectives: This study investigates the effects of land management practices and vegetation cover on soil erosion rates in the Mashhad Plain, Northeast Iran. Methods: By employing the Universal Soil Loss...

Understanding soil properties is fundamental to sustaining the ecological integrity of protected forest ecosystems. This study examined the influence of two management categories; Strict Nature Reserve (SN) and Natural P...

Protected areas play a critical role in biodiversity conservation, but they are increasingly threatened by poaching. This study provides the first long-term analysis of poaching trends and law enforcement effectiveness i...

In drylands livestock grazing is the main production activity, but overgrazing due to mismanagement is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Continuous grazing around water sources generates a radial gradient of grazing in...

The Gulf of Squillace, in the Calabrian Ionian Sea, where we have been conducting scientific research and marine monitoring since 2019, has proven to be an important area for pelagic animals, including seabirds and sea t...

This study explores the construction of tourist experience and conservation-oriented semiotic governance in a Balinese monkey forest. In the context of ecotourism, few studies examine the role of semiotic resources in me...

Abstract Watershed degradation driven by land-use change, climate variability, and rising water demand threatens water security and ecosystem services in underdeveloped countries like Nepal. Local participation is essent...

Abstract Environmental education plays a central role in addressing global environmental problems by shaping learners’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. This study examined the effects of an integrated Environmental...

Plants constitute the foundation of life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and ecosystem services essential for human well-being. At the same time, they are among the most threatened components of biodiversity, with curr...

Kalatop–Khajjiar Wildlife Sanctuary represents one of the ecologically significant forested landscapes of the northwestern Himalaya; however, updated and systematic documentation of its vascular flora has remained limi...

Abstract Increased interaction between wild and urban environments owing to human population growth, increased anthropization of biomes, and habitat loss for wild animals increases the spread of infectious and parasitic ...

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the green management practices adopted by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in The Gambia and to analyze how these practices contribute to competitive advantage within a resource-con...

Agricultural intensification has reduced biodiversity and leads to fundamental trade-offs between food production and conservation. Conventional approaches to food production are thus no longer suitable. In the present w...

Sacred groves (SGs) are community-protected forest patches dedicated to local deities, crucial for biodiversity conservation but threatened by habitat loss and weakening traditions. This study provides the first inventor...

This study assessed the local and landscape factors that support breeding habitats for native frog species in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. We surveyed 25 wetlands categorized into two management states and var...

Just as for most other tortoise species, the once common Chacotortoise, Chelonoidis chilensis (Testudinidae), is under constant threat across it distribution in Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. Despite initial qualitativ...

This study quantified how soil and water conservation (SWC) practices, slope position, and soil depth influence labile and recalcitrant carbon (LC, RC) and nitrogen (LN, RN) fractions in the Tigray highlands of northern ...

Human–wildlife relations in alpine ecosystems reflect the combined effects of climate change, land-use transitions, and governance capacity. Rather than focusing solely on local conflict dynamics, this study investigat...

Understanding the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the local communities towards the target species before implementing any awareness-based programmes is essential for the success and long-term protection of the s...

Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resis...

This article presents the results of a study examining the characteristics and dynamics of the institutional environment for hunting management under the influence of state regulation from 1995 to the present. Key elemen...

Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management app...

The Andean Bear is classified as ‘Vulnerable’ by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of data on the species’ reproduction and reproductive pathologies. General anesthesia w...
