Effectiveness of the Natura 2000 network for freshwater fish conservation in a Mediterranean region

چکیده
Protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstones of global biodiversity conservation efforts, but to fulfil this role they must be effective at conserving both habitat and species. Among protected taxa, freshwater fish exposed multiple disturbances considered one most endangered. The Natura 2000 reserves network was established with aim preserving across Europe, few assessments have been made on its effectiveness We tested hypothesis that community is less anthropogenic pressures within sites than outside, hosting a higher number native species maintain lower non-native these hypotheses considering 3,777 sampling sites, found entire Italian territory. Results showed PAs did not guarantee impacts richness outside PAs, suggesting panacea for safeguarding diversity. Nevertheless, more caution should applied management measures design new due limitations protection single stretch whole river ecosystem. Moreover, impossibility operate any invasive broad scale basin likely limiting factor in Italy. Finally, it also necessary extend analysis other basins Europe.

An overview of the status, trends and challenges of freshwater fish research and conservation in Malaysia
Freshwater fish biodiversity is a precious natural asset in terms of economic, cultural and scientific interest. And yet, the inland freshwater ecosystem in Malaysia is declining at a far greater rate than terrestrial ecosystems in the tropics. What happened, and what is being done to address the crisis? This paper extracts findings from the latest literature and explores overarching issues per...
