Roads are expanding at the fastest pace in human history. This is case especially biodiversity-rich tropical nations, where roads can result forest loss and fragmentation, wildfires, illicit land invasions negative societal effects1–5. Many being constructed illegally or informally do not appear on any existing road map6–10; toll of such 'ghost roads' ecosystems poorly understood. Here we use around 7,000 h effort by trained volunteers to map ghost across Asia-Pacific region, sampling 1.42...
Indonesian Borneo (Kalimantan) sustains ~37 million hectares of native tropical forest. Numerous large-scale infrastructure projects aimed at promoting land-development activities are planned or ongoing in the region. However, little is known potential impacts this new on Bornean forests biodiversity. We found that and road rail-line developments will have many detrimental ecological impacts, including fragmenting large expanses intact Assuming conservatively rail influence only a 1 km...
Closed-canopy forests are being rapidly fragmented across much of the tropical world. Determining impacts fragmentation on ecological processes enables better forest management and improves species-conservation outcomes. Lianas an integral part but can have detrimental potentially complex interactions with their host trees. These effects include reduced tree growth fecundity, elevated mortality, alterations in tree-species composition, degradation succession, a substantial decline carbon...
The tropical forests of Africa are experiencing unprecedented changes as a result rapid proliferation roads and other infrastructure. These projects dramatically increasing access to relatively unexploited regions, particularly in the greater Congo Basin. We highlight some most important new describe detail an ongoing debate about particular proposed development, Cross River Superhighway Nigeria. scale pace transportation projects, profound environmental they could bring, underscore dire...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between skills and employability business graduates. study also examines moderating effect ‘social mobility factors’ in ‘skills–employability’ relationship. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative positivist approach was undertaken test hypotheses. Business graduates from two universities a developing country responded questionnaire about their perceptions different sets factors. Partial least squares (PLS)-based structural...
The forests of Borneo—the third largest island on the planet—sustain some highest biodiversity and carbon storage in world. also provide vital ecosystem services livelihood support for millions people region, including many indigenous communities. Pan-Borneo Highway several hydroelectric dams are planned or already under construction Sarawak, a Malaysian state comprising part Borneo. This development seeks to enhance economic growth regional connectivity, community access services, promote...
The island of New Guinea hosts the third largest expanse tropical rainforest on planet. Papua Guinea—comprising eastern half island—plans to nearly double its national road network (from 8,700 15,000 km) over next three years, spur economic growth. We assessed these plans using fine-scale biophysical and environmental data. identified numerous socioeconomic risks associated with projects, including dissection 54 critical biodiversity habitats diminished forest connectivity across large...
Purpose Drawing on the dynamic capability view (DCV), this research determines suitable configurations of resilience strategies for sustainable tourism supply chain performance amidst “extreme” disruptive events affecting entire chain. Design/methodology/approach This applies a multi-study and multi-method approach. Study 1 utilizes in-depth interviews to identify list sustainability risks strategies. 2, using quality function deployment (QFD) technique, most important corresponding highly...
Abstract Tropical forest regions in equatorial Africa are threatened with degradation, deforestation and biodiversity loss as a result of land-cover change. We investigated historical dynamics unprotected forested areas the Littoral Region south-western Cameroon during 1975–2017, to detect changes that may influence this important wildlife area. Processed Landsat imagery was used map monitor land use cover. From 1975 2017 area high-value landscapes decreased by c. 420,000 ha, increasing...
The Heart of Borneo initiative has promoted the integration protected areas and sustainably-managed forests across Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei. Recently, however, member states have begun pursuing ambitious unilateral infrastructure-development schemes to accelerate economic growth, jeopardizing underlying goal trans-boundary integrated conservation. Focusing on Sabah, we highlight conflicts between its Pan-Borneo Highway scheme regional areas, unprotected intact forests,...
Forests cover only 6 to 8 percent of the total land area Bangladesh. While agricultural expansion continues massively deplete natural forests, a well-managed homegarden practice is vital for reversing existing trend and promoting ecological balance country. An understanding role women in management within traditional farming system important expanding improving practice. This paper seeks explore participation activities, impact homegardens on women's income livelihoods assessing awareness...
