Community-based management expands ecosystem protection footprint in Amazonian forests
Open AccessAna Carla Rodrigues, Hugo C M Costa et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025References: 6
Community-based conservation has gained traction in the Brazilian Amazon because of its potential in combining territorial protection, local well-being and biodiversity conservation. We assessed the footprint of effective protection, areas actively monitored and defended through community-led surveillance, where illegal activities such as poaching, fishing and logging are successfully prevented, within the largest community-based fisheries conser…
Assessing the political vulnerability of National Parks in sub‐Saharan Africa using data on digital trends and engagement
Open AccessKaroline Azevedo, Fernanda Alves‐Martins et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024
National Parks (NPs) and other protected areas in sub‐Saharan Africa are crucial in attracting international tourists interested in wildlife tourism, contributing to national economies. Despite their cultural, economic, and conservation significance, these areas face diverse development threats, leading to pressures for protected area downgrading, downsizing, or degazettement (known as PADDD). We comprehensively analyse the geographical, historic…

Inclusion and governance in the managing Council of the Costa dos Corais Environmental Protection Area
Open AccessCarla Nadinne Souza, Evelynne Letícia S F C De Barros et al.ARTICLEAmbiente & sociedade2022References: 23
The participation of society in the decision-making arenas is essential to achieve an effective environmental management. This paper aimed to assess the effectiveness of inclusion, as a principle of good governance, in the decision-making process of the Costa dos Corais Environmental Protected Area (EPA). To achieve it, institutional documents were analysed, interviews were conducted with managers and councillors and 375 questionnaires were appli…

A culturomics approach to quantifying the salience of species on the global internet
Open AccessRichard J Ladle, Paul Jepson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2019
Conservation will only be successful over the long term if people support conservation goals. While many factors may influence the level of such support, it is clear that people are more willing to conserve species and places that they are familiar with and which provide them with something they value. Until now this dimension has been largely lacking from conservation decision‐making and its underlying scientific evidence base. This is understan…

The influence of oceanic basins on drought and ecosystem dynamics in Northeast Brazil
Open AccessMarcos Paulo Santos Pereira, Flávio Justino et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014
The 2012 drought in Northeast Brazil was the harshest in decades, with potentially significant impacts on the vegetation of the unique semi-arid caatinga biome and on local livelihoods. Here, we use a coupled climate–vegetation model (CCM3-IBIS) to: (1) investigate the role of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans in the 2012 drought, and; (2) evaluate the response of the caatinga vegetation to the 2012 climate extreme. Our results indicate that anomal…
