  • Revisiting “Success” and “Failure” of Marine Protected Areas

    Open AccessSylvaine Giakoumi, Jennifer McGowan et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Marine Science2018

    Marine protected areas (MPAs) form the cornerstone of marine conservation. Identifying which factors contribute to their success or failure is crucial considering the international conservation targets for 2020 and the limited funds generally available for marine conservation. We identified common factors of success and/or failure of MPA effectiveness using peer-reviewed publications and first-hand expert knowledge for 27 case studies around the …

  • Predicting the impact of logging activities on soil erosion and water quality in steep, forested tropical islands

    Open AccessAmelia S Wenger, Scott Atkinson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Increasing development in tropical regions provides new economic opportunities that can improve livelihoods, but it threatens the functional integrity and ecosystem services provided by terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems when conducted unsustainably. Given the small size of many islands, communities may have limited opportunities to replace loss and damage to the natural resources upon which they depend for ecosystem service provisioning, thus he…

  • Capacity shortfalls hinder the performance of marine protected areas globally

  • Winners and losers as mangrove, coral and seagrass ecosystems respond to sea-level rise in Solomon Islands

    Open AccessSimon Albert, Megan I Saunders et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    A 2007 earthquake in the western Solomon Islands resulted in a localised subsidence event in which sea level (relative to the previous coastal settings) rose approximately 30–70 cm, providing insight into impacts of future rapid changes to sea level on coastal ecosystems. Here, we show that increasing sea level by 30–70 cm can have contrasting impacts on mangrove, seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. Coral reef habitats were the clear winners with…

  • A mid-term analysis of progress toward international biodiversity targets

    Open AccessDerek P Tittensor, Matt Walpole et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    In 2010, the international community, under the auspices of the Convention on Biological Diversity, agreed on 20 biodiversity-related “Aichi Targets” to be achieved within a decade. We provide a comprehensive mid-term assessment of progress toward these global targets using 55 indicator data sets. We projected indicator trends to 2020 using an adaptive statistical framework that incorporated the specific properties of individual time series. On c…

  • The Ipbes Conceptual Framework — connecting nature and people

    Open AccessSandra Dı́az, Sebsebe Demissew et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2014Cited by: 174References: 16

    The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual and analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that IPBES will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions. Salient innovative aspects of the IPBES Conceptual Framework …

  • Maps, laws and planning policy

    Open AccessJustine Bell‐jame, Justine Bell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2014Cited by: 7References: 12

    Rapid sea level rise over the 21st century threatens coastal settlements and populations worldwide. Significant land-use policy reform will be needed to mitigate exposure to hazards in the coastal zone. Sea-level rise maps that indicate areas that are potentially prone to future inundation are a valuable tool for policymakers and decision makers. However, errors, assumptions, and uncertainties inherent in spatial data are not often explicitly rec…

  • Approaches to defining a planetary boundary for biodiversity

    Open AccessGeorgina M Mace, Belinda Reyers et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2014Cited by: 21References: 4

    The idea that there is an identifiable set of boundaries, beyond which anthropogenic change will put the Earth system outside a safe operating space for humanity, is attracting interest in the scientific community and gaining support in the environmental policy world. Rockstrom et al. (2009) identify nine such boundaries and highlight biodiversity loss as being the single boundary where current rates of extinction put the Earth system furthest ou…
