Judging the impact of social and technological trends on the future of wilderness is complex. Declining public trust, growing demands for scrutiny, a need to recognize the link between biophysical and socioeconomic systems, and the need for criteria to select among alternative futures challenge us. A burgeoning global population will increase resource impacts, but more critically, the growing g...

Thousands of people become lost in the wilderness each year and search rescue personnel are called to for locate who lost. Time is critical as person's chance survival decreases over time. One method improving outcomes efficient accurate planning areas. Search techniques have been developed time through extensive training, experience knowledge.

Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and is the cause of the decline and extinction of amphibian species throughout the world. We surveyed the distribution of Bd within and around the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA), a 1.38 million ha area of significant fauna conservation value, which provides the majorit...

Conservation scientists emphasize the importance of maintaining a connected network of protected areas to prevent ecosystems and populations from becoming isolated, reduce the risk of extinction, and ultimately sustain biodiversity. Keeping protected areas connected in a network is increasingly recognized as a conservation priority in the current era of rapid climate change. Models that identif...

Aim Land use is the most pervasive driver of biodiversity loss. Predicting its impact on species richness (SR) often based indicators habitat However, degradation habitats, especially through land-use intensification, also affects species. Here, we evaluate whether an integrative metric intensity, human appropriation net primary production, correlated with decline SR in used landscapes across g...
