Sustainable territorial management requires reliable assessment of the impact of conservation policies on landscape structure and dynamics. Euro-Mediterranean regions present a remarkable biodiversity which is linked in part to traditional land use practices and which is currently threatened by global change. The effectiveness of one-decade conservation policies against land use changes was exa...

There are many studies dealing with the protection or restoration of wetlands and the sustainable economic growth of cities as separate subjects. This study investigates the conflict between the two in an area where city growth is threatening a protected wetland area. We develop a stochastic cellular automaton model for urban growth and apply it to the Vecht area surrounding the city of Hilvers...

Abstract Fragmentation impacts disconnecting protected areas in Gunungkidul Regency, namely Bunder Forest Park (BFP) and the Paliyan Wildlife Reserve (PWR). This also decreases carrying capacity PWR, degrading Long-Tailed Macaque (LTM) habitat. Therefore, this research aims to analyze landscape structure between Protected areas, habitat suitability of LTM determine connectivity potential as an ...

Most animal habitats are affected by humans. While some species tolerate and even benefit from these changes, others suffer. Understanding when how human-altered landscapes affect behavior, health, reproduction, survival is essential to management in a human-dominated world. Here we use 27 years of data on human-baboon encounters protected, semi-arid ecosystem Kenya to: (i) identify spatial, en...
