On Population Growth Near Protected Areas
BACKGROUND Protected areas are the first, and often only, line of defense in efforts to conserve biodiversity. They might be detrimental or beneficial to rural communities depending on how they alter economic opportunities and access to natural resources. As such, protected areas may attract or repel human settlement. Disproportionate increases in population growth near protected area boundarie...
متن کاملLarval Connectivity in an Effective Network of Marine Protected Areas
Acceptance of marine protected areas (MPAs) as fishery and conservation tools has been hampered by lack of direct evidence that MPAs successfully seed unprotected areas with larvae of targeted species. For the first time, we present direct evidence of large-scale population connectivity within an existing and effective network of MPAs. A new parentage analysis identified four parent-offspring p...
متن کاملProtected areas – protected species?
Wild life: The elusive fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is the top predator in the dry deciduous forests of Madagascar, but very little was known about its biology until the 1990s. The presence of volunteer groups studying its role in the forest’s ecology has also helped to protect its habitat. (Photo: Earthwatch/ Luke Dollar.) The world’s latest national park has just been created in the east of Russ...

متن کاملGRCBox: Extending Smartphone Connectivity in Vehicular Networks
The low penetration of connectivity-enabled OBUs is delaying the deployment of vehicular networks (VNs) and therefore the development of vehicular delay tolerant network (VDTN) applications, among others. In this paper we present GRCBox, an architecture based onRaspberryPi that allows integrating smartphones inVNs.GRCBox is based on a low-cost device that combines several pieces of software to ...
