Abstract Recognizing the imperative to evaluate species recovery and conservation impact, in 2012 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) called development a “Green List Species” (now IUCN Green Status Species). A draft framework assessing species’ progress toward recovery, published 2018, proposed 2 separate but interlinked components: standardized method (i.e., measurement against benchmarks viability, functionality, preimpact distribution) determine current status (herein...
Robust evaluation of the impact biodiversity conservation actions is important not only for ensuring that strategies are effective and maximise return on investment, but also to identify celebrate successful strategies. This can be retrospective (comparing current situation a counterfactual scenario) or forward-looking future scenarios with without conservation). However, assessment using experimental quasi-experimental designs typically difficult in conservation, so rigorous inferential...
Societal Impact Statement Understanding the current state of trees within United States is imperative for protecting those species, their habitats, and countless communities they support, as well ecosystem services provide. We present an updated checklist all tree species native to contiguous States, distribution, extinction risk, most common threats. Knowledge national threat “hotspots” conservation priorities facilitates efficient efforts allocation resources safeguard 11–16% US that are...
