This study aims to highlight the importance of biodiversity management as a key element in achieving a balance between economic development and ecosystem conservation. The study focuses on the case of Jijel Province (Alg...

Against a backdrop of growing environmental awareness and the need to mitigate climate change impacts, urban spatial planning and management policies inspired by European sustainable development recommendations are gaini...

The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many differe...

The Chilean taxonomic community is reduced, with the largest fraction of taxonomists devoted to well known groups, such as vertebrates. Some invertebrates and plant taxa have no Chilean taxonomist working on them, all fa...

It is difficult to map and quantify biodiversity at landscape level in areas with low data availability, despite demand from decision-makers. We propose a methodology to determine potential biodiversity pattern using hab...

The Island of Martin Garcia lies at the confluence of the Uruguay and Paraná Rivers (upper Río de la Plata). This island is an outcrop of the crystalline basement. Due to basalt exploitation the island exhibits several...

We cannot separate human beings from biodiversity. Our vital functions and our health are synergistic with other species. The number of microorganisms we live with is greater than the total number of cells in our bodies....

El proposito de este trabajo es desentranar algunos de los mecanismos que conducen a la apropiacion privada de la naturaleza dentro de un contexto de lucha incesante por el poder y la hegemonia mundiales. Tomaremos como ...

Biodiversity is crucial in agroecosystems, as it makes them more efficient, stronger, productive and resilient. The aim was to determine and compare the existing biodiversity in two different production systems: agroecol...

IntroductionThe complex interplay between environmental dynamics, biodiversity loss, and public health necessitates advanced methodologies for quantifying and interpreting their interactions. Respiratory health, highly s...

Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) provides multiple benefits, but these are being greatly eroded by urbanization and declining connectivity, which threaten biodiversity in urban centres. This study therefore investigated ...

The WHO estimates that by 2050, 70% of the global population will reside in urban areas—centers of opportunity but also major health risks. Urbanization contributes to the rise of non-communicable chronic diseases, lin...

The lack of implementation of well-designed public policies aimed at the conservation of natural ecosystems has resulted, at a global level, in the decline of ecosystem functioning and, consequently, of the contributions...

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...

Linking Bees, Biodiversity, and Breadwinners highlights the complex and essential relationship between Bees and the survival of rural livelihoods. Although the role of bees in advancing sustainable development objectives...

Climate change is undermining the effectiveness of static reserve systems by shifting species distributions and increasing the opportunity costs of conservation, particularly for land and water under more frequent temper...

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...
