Against the global backdrop of accelerating climate change and the urgent need for energy transition, understanding the role of protected areas in shaping renewable energy consumption has become increasingly important. U...

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...

The governance of protected areas plays a key role in preserving biodiversity and fostering sustainable development, particularly through nature-based tourism. This paper introduces the Robustness Supply Tourism Index (R...

Trends over time in the protected area coverage of Key Biodiversity Areas is an indicator to track progress for global environmental targets, including Sustainable Development Goals 14 and 15, and Target 3 of the Kunming...

The objective of this research is to explore pathways for the creation of Smart Villages in the Mediterranean context, with a focus on the Madonie Park—an extensive area comprising 21 municipalities within a UNESCO Glo...

Forest fires in the Amazon, particularly in protected areas, pose significant challenges related to CO _2 emissions and deforestation. This study aimed to evaluate fire foci and their driving factors in the Jamanxim Nati...

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the main threats to global biodiversity, with amphibians being among the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. In this context, the IUCN currently lists 69 species of Neotropical glass...

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...

Rusty-spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) is the smallest felid in the world. It is rare, elusive, and poorly studied. Its distribution across the country is patchy, and it faces threats from increasing anthropogenic ...

India is globally recognised as a megadiverse country, supporting a substantial proportion of the world’s biodiversity across a wide range of terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems, while simultaneously sustaini...

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...

Abstract Climate change threatens species and crops. Understanding its impact along a range of climates is essential for developing effective conservation strategies and strengthening ecological resilience. This study ex...

Abstract Bryophytes disperse efficiently via wind-borne spores, yet long-distance transport alone does not guarantee successful establishment at the deposition site. Species-rich hotspots are expected to arise where a su...

Reconciling urban expansion with ecological integrity is a key objective of the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework, particularly in fluvial and coastal cities. Their extensive river networks and urban wetlan...

We aimed to assess the impacts of climate and land-use alterations on the Asian habitats of four bear species black bear, brown bear, sloth bear, and sun bear using ensemble framework. We utilized two greenhouse gas emis...
