Abstract Two processes for regional environmental assessment are currently underway: the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) and Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Both face constraints of data, time, capacity, resources. To support these assessments, we disaggregate three global knowledge products according to their regions subregions. These are: The IUCN Red List Threatened Species, Key Areas (specifically Important Bird & [IBAs], Alliance Zero...
Abstract Restoring the degraded Atlantic Forest is one of biggest conservation challenges in Brazil. In a biome with high human presence, understanding potential for restoration approaches, such as agroforestry, to provide benefits smallholder farmers and biodiversity essential developing equitable strategies. Smallholder or family are national food security, producing most fruit vegetables consumed Their farms can also ecological stepping stones biodiversity. To better understand their role...
Abstract Background and context The scale of land degradation worldwide has led to nearly one billion hectares committed restoration globally. However, achieving such targets will necessitate complex trade-offs against limited time, competing knowledge, costs, resources varying stakeholder societal preferences. Participatory scenarios allow a way identify collaborative solutions for planning implementation best suited the local cultures societies they are tied to. They can be used navigate...
Abstract The Black Lives Matter Movement, which gained unprecedented global momentum in mid‐2020, triggered critical reflection on systemic discrimination of disadvantaged groups across many domains society. It prompted us, as early‐career researchers (ECRs) conservation science, to examine our own awareness ongoing injustices within field, the role we play perpetuating or countering these injustices, and how move forward. Colonialist ideologies power dynamics throughout history practice...
Abstract Protecting tropical forests and their biological diversity is a global priority. Understanding if thresholds of forest cover exist beyond which biodiversity displays non‐linear declines key to developing appropriate conservation strategies policies, but uncertainty remains around the identification characteristics these thresholds. We performed systematic review studies using gradient identify an ecological threshold across ecosystems. Our finds 68 reported in 33 peer‐reviewed...
Abstract Scientists have warned decision‐makers about the severe consequences of global environmental crisis since 1970s. Yet ecological degradation continues and little has been done to address climate change. We investigated early‐career conservation researchers' (ECR) perspectives on, prioritization of, actions furthering sustainability. conducted a survey ( n = 67) an interactive workshop 35) for ECR attendees 5th European Congress Conservation Biology (2018). Building on these data...
Abstract Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is a global restoration hotspot. Most of the remaining forest areas are degraded and separated by large cities, agricultural lands essential for national food security. agenda defined multiple targets policies, including Native Vegetation Protection Law (No. 12,651/2012) also known as Code, which sets minimum levels native vegetation to be maintained or restored in rural properties. In this study we simulate impacts alternative policies addressing Brazil,...
The EU BON (“Building the European Biodiversity Observation Network”) project has made important contributions towards achievement of global conservation targets. This infographic illustrates BON's Aichi Target 19 "By 2020, knowledge, science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status trends, consequences loss, are improved, widely shared transferred, applied.”
tlantic Forest is the focus of various restoration pacts, success these projects in providing ecological benefits while sustaining local livelihoods unclear. We conducted a systematic review habitat initiatives and their impact on biodiversity, ecosystem services order to define specific biodiversity targets, answer question: What threshold forest cover required maintain functional intactness, avoid extinction debt, total species abundance? used search strings English, Spanish Portuguese via...
