Knowledge and attitudes about the use of pangolin scale products in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) within China
All eight pangolin species are threatened with extinction, largely through demand for their products including scales, meat and body parts. The demand for pangolin scales has gained attention from many conservation groups due to the large volumes involved in illegal trade. Market demand in China is one of the major drivers for international illegal trade according to confiscation reports, and many conservation interventions have been attempted to…
Managing Human-Sun Bear Conflict in Sumatran Agroforest Systems
Consequences of Human Land Use for an Afro-alpine Ecological Community in Ethiopia
The Guassa area of Menz in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia is an Afro-alpine ecological community with an indigenous resource management system. The local community harvest different resources including collecting grass and firewood from the Guassa area. Cattle and other livestock are also grazed in the Guassa area, especially during the dry season. Several sympatric species of endemic rodents dominate the small mammal ecological communities in…
Local attitudes and perceptions toward crop‐raiding by orangutans ( Pongo abelii ) and other nonhuman primates in northern Sumatra, Indonesia
Human–wildlife conflicts, such as crop‐raiding, increase as people expand their agricultural activities into wildlife habitats. Crop‐raiding can reduce tolerance toward species that are already threatened, whereas potential dangers posed by conflicts with large‐bodied species may also negatively influence local attitudes. Across Asia, wild pigs and primates, such as macaques, tend to be the most commonly reported crop raiders. To date, reports of…
Community Attitudes Toward Wildlife and Protected Areas in Ethiopia
Across Africa, national policies that established protected areas (PAs) typically limited local use of wildlife and other resources. Over time, these policies have raised tensions with rural communities and today threaten to undermine conservation goals. This article examines community–PA relationships at four important sites in Ethiopia—a country of rich tradition with an unusual colonial past. Using focus groups and household surveys, we found …
The future of forests and orangutans ( Pongo abelii ) in Sumatra
Payments for reduced carbon emissions from deforestation (RED) are now attracting attention as a way to halt tropical deforestation. Northern Sumatra comprises an area of 65 000 km2 that is both the site of Indonesia's first planned RED initiative, and the stronghold of 92% of remaining Sumatran orangutans. Under current plans, this RED initiative will be implemented in a defined geographic area, essentially a newly established, 7500 km2 protecte…
