Deforestation in Brazilian Amazonia: History, Rates, and Consequences
Conservation Biology - Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 680-688 - 2005
Philip M. Fearnside
Abstract:  Brazil's Amazon forest remained largely intact until the “modern” era of deforestation began with the inauguration of the Transamazon Highway in 1970. Amazonian deforestation rates have trended upward since 1991, with clearing proceeding at a variable but rapid pace. Although Amazonian forests are cut for various reasons, cattle ranching pred...... hiện toàn bộ
Sixty Years of Change in Californian Conifer Forests of the San Bernardino Mountains
Conservation Biology - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 902-914 - 1995
Richard A. Minnich, Michael G. Barbour, Jack H. Burk, Robert F. Fernau
We revisited 68 plots of forest vegetation in the San Bernardino Mountains that had been quantitatively described in 1929‐1935, from the California Vegetation Type Map (VTM) Survey. By using the same sampling methods, we documented changes—over approximately 60 years and during a period of fire suppression management—in tree density by both species and size class. In general, we found incr...... hiện toàn bộ
Opportunities and challenges for Common Agricultural Policy reform to support the European Green Deal
Conservation Biology - Tập 37 Số 3 - 2023
Ivon Cuadros‐Casanova, Andrea Cristiano, Dino Biancolini, Marta Cimatti, Andrea Antonio Sessa, Valeria Y. Mendez Angarita, Chiara Dragonetti, Michela Pacifici, Carlo Rondinini, Moreno Di Marco
AbstractThe Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the European Union's main instrument for agricultural planning, with a new reform approved for 2023–2027. The CAP intends to align with the European Green Deal (EGD), a set of policy initiatives underpinning sustainable development and climate neutrality in the European Union (EU), but several flaws cast doubts about ...... hiện toàn bộ
Monitoring and Evaluation in Conservation: a Review of Trends and Approaches
Conservation Biology - Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 295-309 - 2005
Caroline Stem, Richard Margoluis, Nick Salafsky, Marcia Brown
Abstract:  There is growing recognition among conservation practitioners and scholars that good project management is integrally linked to well‐designed monitoring and evaluation systems. Most conservation organizations have attempted to develop and implement monitoring and evaluation systems, often with mixed results. One problem seems to be that organ...... hiện toàn bộ
Rethinking Community‐Based Conservation
Conservation Biology - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 621-630 - 2004
Fikret Berkes
Abstract:  Community‐based conservation (CBC) is based on the idea that if conservation and development could be simultaneously achieved, then the interests of both could be served. It has been controversial because community development objectives are not necessarily consistent with conservation objectives in a given case. I examined CBC from two angle...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparisons of Related Rare and Common Species in the Study of Plant Rarity
Conservation Biology - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 493-498 - 1999
R. L. Bevill, Svaťa M. Louda
Abstract:Conservation of rare plant populations is an important dimension of the preservation of biodiversity. Yet the database underlying both the theoretical understanding and management of rare—in contrast to common—plant species is scattered, unfocused, and conceptually weak. Our review of studies comparing attributes of rare vascular p...... hiện toàn bộ

Mexico's Community‐Managed Forests as a Global Model for Sustainable Landscapes
Conservation Biology - Tập 17 Số 3 - Trang 672-677 - 2003
David Barton Bray, Leticia Merino‐Pérez, Patricia Negreros‐Castillo, Gerardo Segura‐Warnholtz, Juan Manuel Torres-Rojo, Henricus F. M. Vester
Abstract:Researchers concerned with sustainable management of forests in the tropics have argued that the road to improved stewardship of forest resources is the transfer of responsibility to the local communities who get their livelihoods from them. On the other hand, conservationists have declared that the only way to stem the tide of deforestation is to place as m...... hiện toàn bộ
Deforestation Predicts the Number of Threatened Birds in Insular Southeast Asia
Conservation Biology - Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 382-394 - 1997
Thomas M. Brooks, Stuart L. Pimm, Nigel Collar
The world’s tropical forests are being cleared rapidly, and ecologists claim this is causing a massive loss of species. This claim has its critics. Can we predict extinctions from the extent of deforestation? We mapped the percentage of deforestation on the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia and counted the number of bird species found only on these islands. We then used the species‐...... hiện toàn bộ
