Abstract Biodiversity of tropical grasslands and savannas (tropical grassy biomes, TGBs) remains poorly documented compared with forests. This is in part due to the misplaced notion TGBs being anthropogenic forest derivatives that support negligible biodiversity endemism. For Indian savannas, legacy colonial forestry has led their misinterpretation as wastelands low conservation value. One key assumption underlying devaluation against forests presumed absence endemic species. Through a...
Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites outside of protected areas that deliver the effective, long-term biodiversity. Both and OECMs contribute to implementation Global Biodiversity Framework’s Target 3, which calls for 30% marine, terrestrial inland water by 2030. This paper provides first global assessment contribution GBF 3. Between 2019 2023, 820 in nine countries territories were reported World Database on OECMs, covering 1.9 million km 2 Earth’s surface and,...
Abstract Biodiversity targets, under the Kunming‐Montreal Global Framework, prioritize both conservation area and their effectiveness. The effective management of protected areas (PAs) depends greatly on law enforcement resources, which is often tasked to rangers. We addressed economic aspects by rangers working in terrestrial landscapes across Asia. Accordingly, we used ranger numbers payment rates derive continental‐scale estimates. Ranger density has decreased 2.4‐fold since 1990s,...
Asia has over 80% of the Earth’s border hotspots for threatened transboundary wildlife, yet only limited research been done on distribution protected areas across international borders in continent. To address this gap, we conducted a spatial analysis 42 Asian countries. Our study aimed to understand distribution, proximity, and land-use changes within areas. Two cases were examined, evaluating relationships at different buffer distances from borders. findings revealed that countries have...
Abstract We monitored native forest regeneration over 11 y in a eucalyptus plantation and compared it with the neighbouring primary forest. For forest, we hypothesized that species richness, density, basal area densities of old-growth would increase time, to have higher richness but lower species. In 2016, repeated protocol study sampled 2005, thirty 10 × 10-m plots enumerating trees (≥10 cm diameter), saplings (>1 <10 diameter) seedlings (<1 diameter). for trees, density gap,...
The conservation of natural and cultural resources shared between countries is a significant challenge that can be addressed through the establishment transboundary areas (TBCAs). TBCAs enable to harmonize cross-border governance management, increase protected area (PA) coverage, strengthen relationships neighbouring communities. In Africa, many ecosystems species ranges span multiple countries, making crucial tool for biodiversity conservation. However, there lack research on where...
Brown Mongoose Herpestes fuscus is crepuscular in habit and rarely encountered. Information on its natural history ecology limited consequently conservation requirements are not well understood. We report observations of a feeding Nilgiri Langur Semnopithecus johnii carcass the Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, southern India. A camera trap was deployed over 10 nights during which, mongoose visited eight nights. Based images captured, behaviour broadly categorized as vigilance, feeding,...
