  • Regional patterns of wild animal hunting in African tropical forests

    Open AccessDaniel J Ingram, Graden Z L Froese et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025References: 5

    Wildlife contributes to the diets, livelihoods and socio-cultural activities of people worldwide; however, unsustainable hunting is a major pressure on wildlife. Regional assessments of the factors associated with hunting offtakes are needed to understand the scale and patterns of wildlife exploitation relevant for policy. We synthesized 83 studies across West and Central Africa to identify the factors associated with variation in offtake. Our mo…

  • Recognising peri-urban ecosystem services in urban development policy and planning: A framework for assessing agri-ecosystem services, poverty and livelihood dynamics

    Open AccessFiona Marshall, Jonathan Dolley et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2024

    Peri-urban ecosystem services (ES) play a vital role in the health and livelihoods of urban and peri-urban residents, but have received relatively little attention in the literature to date. Here we focus on agriculture-related peri-urban ecosystem services in south Asia: examining the relationships with multiple dimensions of poverty, and cross-scale interactions that affect the livelihoods and well-being of both urban and peri-urban residents a…

  • Towards understanding interactions between Sustainable Development Goals: The role of environment–human linkages

    Open AccessJörn P W Scharlemann, Rebecca C Brock et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2020Cited by: 16References: 5

    Only 10 years remain to achieve all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) globally, so there is a growing need to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of action by targeting multiple SDGs. The SDGs were conceived as an ‘indivisible whole’, but interactions between SDGs need to be better understood. Several previous assessments have begun to explore interactions including synergies and possible conflicts between the SDGs, and differ widely in …

  • Local biodiversity is higher inside than outside terrestrial protected areas worldwide

    Open AccessClaudia L Gray, Samantha L L Hill et al.ARTICLENature Communications2016

    Protected areas are widely considered essential for biodiversity conservation. However, few global studies have demonstrated that protection benefits a broad range of species. Here, using a new global biodiversity database with unprecedented geographic and taxonomic coverage, we compare four biodiversity measures at sites sampled in multiple land uses inside and outside protected areas. Globally, species richness is 10.6% higher and abundance 14.…

  • Has land use pushed terrestrial biodiversity beyond the planetary boundary? A global assessment

    Open AccessTim Newbold, Lawrence N Hudson et al.ARTICLEScience2016

    Crossing “safe” limits for biodiversity loss The planetary boundaries framework attempts to set limits for biodiversity loss within which ecological function is relatively unaffected. Newbold et al. present a quantitative global analysis of the extent to which the proposed planetary boundary has been crossed (see the Perspective by Oliver). Using over 2 million records for nearly 40,000 terrestrial species, they modeled the response of biodiversi…

  • 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…

  • Essential Biodiversity Variables

    Open AccessHenrique M Pereira, Simon Ferrier et al.ARTICLEScience2013

    A global system of harmonized observations is needed to inform scientists and policy-makers.

  • Biophysical suitability, economic pressure and land-cover change: A global probabilistic approach and insights for Redd

    Open AccessBernardo B N Strassburg, Agnieszka E Latawiec et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2013Cited by: 2References: 8

    There has been a concerted effort by the international scientific community to understand the multiple causes and patterns of land-cover change to support sustainable land management. Here, we examined biophysical suitability, and a novel integrated index of “Economic Pressure on Land” (EPL) to explain land cover in the year 2000, and estimated the likelihood of future land-cover change through 2050, including protected area effectiveness. Biophy…

  • Global Biodiversity: Indicators of Recent Declines

    Open AccessStuart H M Butchart, Matt Walpole et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Global Biodiversity Target Missed In 2002, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) committed to a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. There has been widespread conjecture that this target has not been met. Butchart et al. (p. 1164 , published online 29 April) analyzed over 30 indicators developed within the CBD's framework. These indicators include the condition or state of biodiversity (e.g., species numbers, pop…

  • Scenarios for Global Biodiversity in the 21st Century

    Open AccessHenrique M Pereira, Paul Leadley et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Assessing Biodiversity Declines Understanding human impact on biodiversity depends on sound quantitative projection. Pereira et al. (p. 1496 , published online 26 October) review quantitative scenarios that have been developed for four main areas of concern: species extinctions, species abundances and community structure, habitat loss and degradation, and shifts in the distribution of species and biomes. Declines in biodiversity are projected for…

  • Biodiversity Conservation: Challenges Beyond 2010

    Open AccessMichael Rands, Michael R W Rands et al.ARTICLEScience2010

    Biodiversity Convention In October 2010, the Convention on Biological Diversity will meet to assess the current condition of global biodiversity and to propose and agree on priorities for its future conservation. In this context, Rands et al. (p. 1298 ; see the News Focus section ; see the cover) review recent patterns of biodiversity conservation, highlighting successes, as well as current and future threats. They argue that biodiversity should …

  • Do increases in agricultural yield spare land for nature?

    Open AccessRobert M Ewers, Jörn P W Scharlemann et al.ARTICLEGlobal Change Biology2009

    Feeding a rapidly expanding human population will require a large increase in the supply of agricultural products during the coming decades. This may lead to the transformation of many landscapes from natural vegetation cover to agricultural land use, unless increases in crop yields reduce the need for new farmland. Here, we assess the evidence that past increases in agricultural yield have spared land for wild nature. We investigated the relatio…

  • Farming and the Fate of Wild Nature

    Open AccessRhys E Green, Stephen J Cornell et al.ARTICLEScience2005

    World food demand is expected to more than double by 2050. Decisions about how to meet this challenge will have profound effects on wild species and habitats. We show that farming is already the greatest extinction threat to birds (the best known taxon), and its adverse impacts look set to increase, especially in developing countries. Two competing solutions have been proposed: wildlife-friendly farming (which boosts densities of wild populations…
