ABSTRACT Realizing coexistence between humans and tigers is an important initiative of tiger recovery in the world. To define priority management areas (PMAs) to mitigate human–tiger conflict (HTC) Laoyeling, where 90% China's Amur population living, we analyzed distribution habitat HTC risk, delineated PMAs for mitigation. The results indicated that 26.77% (1851 km 2 ) Laoyeling most suitable tiger. high‐risk area covers 1173 , which 413 Among six PMAs, 374 1398 are located outside protected need strengthen conservation management. Our research can contribute improving effectiveness promoting China.

China has emerged as a global economic powerhouse after four decades of unprecedented growth. Such growth generated many environmental challenges with enormous ecological, socioeconomic, and health consequences in beyond. Although the overall quality air water is starting to improve, both are still below national international standards. Water shortages widespread. Biodiversity continues decline. world's top CO 2 emitter, although per capita emissions much lower than those developed counties. On positive side, large conservation programs have been implemented, including Natural Forest Conservation Program, Grain-to-Green Ecosystem Functional Areas, Ecological Protection Redlines. More 2,750 nature reserves established new park system being constructed. Some endangered threatened species, such giant panda, showing signs recovery, forest cover some ecosystem services increased. These mixed outcomes result from human-nature interactions within well between adjacent distant countries. include increasing rapid growth, resource consumption, land use change, trade investment, development policies. We suggest systems approaches nexus flow-centered governance help achieve ecological civilization become an leader on metacoupled planet.

It has been well acknowledged that the gut microbiome is important for host health, composition changes in these microbial communities might increase susceptibility to infections and reduced adaptability environment. Reintroduction, as an effective strategy wild population recovery genetic diversity maintenance endangered populations, usually take captive populations rewilding resource. While, little known about compositional functional differences of microbiota between especially large carnivores, like Amur tiger.

The effects of human disturbance spread over virtually all ecosystems and ecological communities on Earth. In this review, we focus the terrestrial apex predators. We summarize their role in nature how they respond to different sources disturbance. Apex predators control prey smaller numerically via behavioral changes avoid predation risk, which turn can affect lower trophic levels. Crucially, reducing population numbers triggering responses are also that causes predators, may influence role. Some populations continue be at brink extinction, but others partially recovering former ranges, natural recolonization through reintroductions. Carnivore recovery is both good news for conservation a challenge management, particularly when occurs human-dominated landscapes. Therefore, conclude by discussing several management considerations that, adapted local contexts, favor predator functions nature.

Abstract Aim Asian forests are becoming increasingly degraded and fragmented by the extensive intensification of anthropogenic activities; these activities threaten wildlife ecosystem sustainability. Facing a defaunation crisis, managers need more information on species assemblages to guide conservation efforts. We tested relative influence natural factors mammalian richness occupancy in temperate Northeast Asia. Location China. Methods Camera‐trapping data multispecies models were used estimate terrestrial mammal community working landscape assess community‐, group‐, species‐specific responses features while accounting for imperfect detection.

The recent and ever-growing problem of boar (Sus scrofa forms including wild boar, hybrid feral pig) expansion is a very complex issue in wildlife management. damages caused to biodiversity the economies are addressed different ways by various countries, but research needed shed light on causal factors this emergency before defining useful collaborative management policy. In review, we screened more than 280 references published between 1975–2022, identifying dealing with five hot (climate change, human induced habitat modifications, predator regulation prey, hybridization domestic forms, transfaunation) that could account for its niche invasion. We also discuss some issues arising from emergency, such as epizootic zoonotic diseases or depression biodiversity. Finally, provide new insights development policies.
