  • Community sawmills can save forests

    Open AccessDaniela A Miteva, Edward A Ellis et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2025

    Integrated conservation and development efforts in low- and middle-income countries have emphasized the devolution of forest management to local communities. This approach is posited to benefit both communities and conservation, but those benefits may depend on community capacity to capture value added, e.g., by processing forest products. In Mexico, most forests are under community management, but only some communities have vertically integrated…

  • Percepción pública sobre el cambio climático en la península de Yucatán, México

    Open AccessMayra Vázquez-Luna, Edward A Ellis et al.ARTICLESociedad y Ambiente2024

    El cambio climático, manifestado por el aumento de la temperatura media y la disminución en la precipitación pluvial, ha sido fuertemente vinculado con actividades humanas. Este es uno de los problemas socioambientales más preocupantes hoy en día porque sus impactos pueden ser significativos a escalas local y regional. El análisis de la percepción sobre este fenómeno brinda información esencial de los actores locales para su comprensión y la toma…

  • Selective logging and shifting agriculture may help maintain forest biomass on the Yucatán peninsula

    Open AccessIrving Uriel Hernández Gómez, Edward A EllisARTICLELand Degradation and Development2023

    Evaluation and monitoring of forest biomass are important to help combat global warming and conserve biodiversity. Above ground biomass (AGB) mapping has been effectively used to assess forest loss, degradation, and recovery in the tropics. In this study, temporal (2007, 2010, and 2015) AGB maps were developed for the Mayan Zone of the Yucatan Peninsula, México integrating vegetation data from the National Forest Inventory (NFI) with synthetic ap…

  • Drivers of forest cover transitions in the Selva Maya , Mexico

    Open AccessEdward A Ellis, Angélica Navarro‐Martínez et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2021

    Tropical forest disturbance contributes to global climate change from increased carbon emissions, and causes loss of biodiversity. Thus, identifying its direct causes and underlying drivers are necessary for effective land use, climate change control and conservation strategies. We integrated remote sensing forest cover data from 2000 to 2018 with georeferenced national socioeconomic and field‐collected household data to determine underlying driv…

  • Leading by listening, learning by doing

    Open AccessKaren A Kainer, Citlalli López Binnqüist et al.ARTICLEJournal of Environmental Studies…2019

    Conservation professionals are increasingly called on to adopt democratic approaches that integrate public concerns and diverse societal voices yet are not taught how to do so. We use a case study approach to analyze a 3-year graduate learning initiative piloted in Mexico by Universidad Veracruzana and the University of Florida that sought to fill this gap. Two team-taught courses were integrated with multiple field and on-campus experiences (e.g…

  • Quantifying the severity of hurricanes on extinction probabilities of a primate population

    Open AccessEric I Ameca y Juárez, Eric I Ameca et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2015

    Long-term studies quantifying impacts of hurricane activity on growth and trajectory of primate populations are rare. Using a 14-year monitored population of Alouatta palliata mexicana as a study system, we developed a modeling framework to assess the relative contribution of hurricane disturbance and two types of human impacts, habitat loss, and hunting, on quasi-extinction risk. We found that the scenario with the highest level of disturbance g…
