A Household Perspective for Biodiversity Conservation
Many researchers have implicated human population density in species endangerment, but these correlative studies do not demonstrate causality. We propose that hypotheses implicating human population density in wildlife endangerment at global and national scales owe their public and academic currency as thoroughly to inductive reasoning and repetition as to scientific experimentation. It follows...
متن کاملWilderness and biodiversity conservation.
Human pressure threatens many species and ecosystems, so conservation efforts necessarily prioritize saving them. However, conservation should clearly be proactive wherever possible. In this article, we assess the biodiversity conservation value, and specifically the irreplaceability in terms of species endemism, of those of the planet's ecosystems that remain intact. We find that 24 wilderness...
متن کاملBiodiversity Conservation in the REDD
Deforestation and forest degradation in the tropics is a major source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The tropics also harbour more than half the world's threatened species, raising the possibility that reducing GHG emissions by curtailing tropical deforestation could provide substantial co-benefits for biodiversity conservation. Here we explore the potential for such co-benefits in I...
متن کاملOf Ethics and Ecosystems: A Bifocal Perspective on Biodiversity Conservation
notion of biodiversity and form a concrete definition by which conservationists can define what exactly it is that they value and wish to preserve. A review of biodiversity definitions will accompany a growing and exhaustive list of components which make up the sort of phenomena which create biological variation, resulting ultimately in an inclusive list of biodiversity components and the manne...
متن کاملGlobal biodiversity conservation priorities.
The location of and threats to biodiversity are distributed unevenly, so prioritization is essential to minimize biodiversity loss. To address this need, biodiversity conservation organizations have proposed nine templates of global priorities over the past decade. Here, we review the concepts, methods, results, impacts, and challenges of these prioritizations of conservation practice within th...
