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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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 The progressive erosion of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in Java, a process exacerbated by colonial disruption, has created a critical disjuncture in biodiversity data. This research examined the 19th-c...

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...

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...

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...

International agreements aim to conserve 17% of Earth's land area by 2020 but include no area-based conservation targets within the working landscapes that support human needs through farming, ranching, and forestry. Thr...

The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual and analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBE...

Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

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...

Annonaceae is a pantropical plant family that is an important component in Neotropical forests, yet its diversity, distribution and conservation status in Mexico has not been comprehensively synthesized. This study provi...

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...

ABSTRACT We evaluated the floristic and ecological attributes of a seasonal semideciduous forest remnant (SSF) (500-1,050 m) located in a key area for biodiversity conservation. The importance of the fragment to the ecos...
