Island biogeography theory posits that species richness increases with island size and decreases isolation. This logic underpins much conservation policy regulation, preference given to conserving large, highly connected areas, relative ambivalence shown toward protecting small, isolated habitat patches. We undertook a global synthesis of the relationship between value patches their isolation, based on 31 systematic planning studies across four continents. found are inordinately important...
Abstract Policies and research increasingly focus on the protection of ecosystem services (ESs) through priority‐area conservation. Priority areas for ESs should be identified based ES capacity demand account connections between (flow) resulting in unique demand–supply (flow zones). We tested ways to flow zones identify priority European Union. mapped a global (carbon sequestration), regional (flood regulation), 3 local (air quality, pollination, urban leisure). used Zonation software 6...
The voluntary non-monetary approach to conservation refers actions that citizens or organizations could voluntarily implement in their area of influence without the incentive monetary compensations. To be effectively implemented by untrained actors, should clearly defined, straightforward and not require specific scientific knowledge. costs also sufficiently affordable widely applied incentives. A has so far been described as a distinct group tools for nature conservation. Here we review...
The European Union (EU) has an extensive protected area network, including Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated under the Birds Directive. Important Bird and Biodiversity (IBAs) are sites of international significance for birds identified by BirdLife International. Here, we perform EU-wide terrestrial spatial conservation prioritizations to evaluate coverage IBAs SPAs, bird other vertebrate distributions SPAs. We then investigate distribution potential locations expanding SPA network...
The concept of National responsibility species (NRS) was developed to coordinate the conservation efforts occurring in multiple countries. Calculated as fraction global species' distribution within a country, it measures contribution local population survival species. However, there may be more co-occurring one region than another, making cost-efficient first latter. If resource allocation is goal, then identifying NRS should also based on spatial priorities. We propose that considered when...
Abstract CONTEXT. Land use decisions are essential for reaching of biodiversity conservation targets. Usually, is planned separately from other land use, using specialised approaches such as spatial planning and prioritisation (SCP). This separation processes makes it difficult to optimise between competing uses or plan sharing solutions. OBJECTIVES: We present a real-life case where SCP was integrated regional process early on. The aim (i) the its results, (ii) based on experiences,...
ed the relationships between species composition, rarity, irreplaceability and habitat fragment size in fragmented landscapes with contrasting histories of land-use change Australia, Europe, Africa, North America. We find that small patches are inordinately important bulk simply on basis their compliment. found a surprisingly clear strong negative relationship most fragmentation indices. This is driven by fact rare distributions biased toward patches, while common exist across all patch...
