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...

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...

Some arguments currently used to support breed conservation are examined. The central point is that we cannot conserve all breeds because we do not have financial resources enough to keep everything (mainly in developing...

Abstract This study presents a holistic decision analysis framework for optimizing school garden interventions in public and private schools across Vietnam. We evaluate the effects of such interventions on child health, ...

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 conservation of marine ecosystems depends on the establishment and functioning of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). These areas are not exempt from the effects generated by a variety of anthropogenic stressors. Coastal ...

Abstract Over the past two decades, agricultural exports in Southeast Asia have surged due to trade liberalization and rising global food demand. This study examines the environmental impacts of agricultural exports in A...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the diferents ways that lead to the private appropiation of the natural resoruces in a context of incessant fight for the world power and hegemony. The article focalise on the re...

Abstract Terrestrial remote sensing approaches, such as acoustic monitoring, deliver finely resolved and reliable biodiversity data. However, the scalability of surveys is often limited by the effort, time and cost neede...

Abstract Assessing plant diversity using remote sensing, including airborne imaging spectroscopy, shows promise for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring in landscape restoration and conservation. Enriching plantations w...

Biodiversity loss has become a major environmental concern in regions experiencing rapid trade integration, yet the roles of trade agreements and property rights in shaping biodiversity outcomes remains insufficiently un...

Effects of forest harvesting on biodiversity can be varied and complex to understand. We provide a metaanalysisof 553 studies plants, insects and birds to identify the general responses to Variable Retentionharvesting (V...

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...

Despite having >1200 described species and despite their nearly worldwide distribution and prevalence in many xeric ecosystems, relative to many other arachnid groups, we know little about the natural history and behavio...

Niche dimensionality provides a general theoretical explanation for biodiversity-more niches, defined by more limiting factors, allow for more ways that species can coexist. Because plant species compete for the same set...

Open-pit coal mine rehabilitation is essential to mitigate ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. Given that ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are excellent bioindicators, we evaluated the response of their communitie...

The ongoing biodiversity disappearance on islands worldwide is alarming. Without an accurate biodiversity assessment, it is impossible to stop the loss of the world’s islands irreplaceable natural heritage. To assess b...
