Wilderness forms and their implications for global environmental policy and conservation

By showcasing the diverse characterization of wilderness in relation to global environmental conservation, this work demonstrates the importance of a more nuanced framing and application to improve understanding, communication, and retention of its variable forms as industry-free places.

Comparative influence of anthropogenic landscape pressures on cause-specific mortality of mammals

The proposed model is ironic given that the EDS regime recommended is one that developed indigenously and has been applied by Africans for centuries and is found to be overly simple and contains too many uncertainties for application in Africa.

Mapping out a future for ungulate migrations

A combination of animal tracking datasets, historical records, and local and Indigenous knowledge can form the basis for a global atlas of migrations, designed to support conservation action and policy at local, national, and international levels.

People have shaped most of terrestrial nature for at least 12,000 years

The most up-to-date, spatially explicit global reconstruction of historical human populations and land use is used to show that the current biodiversity crisis can seldom be explained by the loss of uninhabited wildlands, resulting instead from the appropriation, colonization, and intensifiers of the biodiverse cultural landscapes long shaped and sustained by prior societies.

Where Might We Find Ecologically Intact Communities?

Conservation efforts should target the few remaining areas of the world that represent outstanding examples of ecological integrity and aim to restore ecological integrity to a much broader area of…

Anthropogenic modification of forests means only 40% of remaining forests have high ecosystem integrity

A globally consistent, continuous index of forest condition as determined by the degree of anthropogenic modification is generated by integrating data on observed and inferred human pressures and an index of lost connectivity.

Fire and biodiversity in the Anthropocene

How changes in fire activity are threatening species with extinction across the globe are reviewed, forward-looking methods for predicting the combined effects of human drivers and fire on biodiversity are highlighted, and emerging actions and strategies that could revolutionize how society manages fire for biodiversity in the Anthropocene are foreshadowed.

Area-based conservation in the twenty-first century.

To be more successful after 2020, area-based conservation must contribute more effectively to meeting global biodiversity goals-ranging from preventing extinctions to retaining the most-intact ecosystems-and must better collaborate with the many Indigenous peoples, community groups and private initiatives that are central to the successful conservation of biodiversity.
