Indonesia is embarking on an ambitious relocation of its capital city to Kalimantan, Borneo, bringing with it major urban and road infrastructure. Yet, despite being one the world's most biologically diverse regions, potential implications this development for wildlife have yet be fully assessed. We explored impacts relocation, expansion upgrades critical habitat medium-large mammals (>1 kg) using camera trap data from 11 forested landscapes. applied Bayesian multi-species occupancy models predict community species-level responses anthropogenic environmental factors. extrapolated spatial patterns species diversity across forests Kalimantan identified "critical habitats" as top 20th percentile richness values. subsequently overlapped these layers infrastructure impact zones estimate area that could potentially affected by direct or secondary impacts. At both species-level, distance primary roads had strongest negative influence habitat-use. Occupancy was also influenced forest quality multidimensional poverty conditions in adjacent villages, demonstrating sensitivity biodiversity socio-ecological pressures.

Wildlife trade is a multibillion dollar industry that driving species toward extinction. Of >31,500 terrestrial bird, mammal, amphibian, and squamate reptile species, ~18% (N = 5579) are traded globally. Trade strongly phylogenetically conserved, the hotspots of this concentrated in biologically diverse tropics. Using different assessment approaches, we predict that, owing to their phylogenetic replacement trait similarity currently future will affect up 3196 additional species-totaling 8775 at risk extinction from trade. Our underscores need for strategic plan combat with policies proactive rather than reactive, which especially important because can quickly transition being safe endangered as humans continue harvest across tree life.

Several hundred species are hunted for wild meat in the tropics, supporting diets, customs, and livelihoods of millions people. However, unsustainable hunting is one most urgent threats to wildlife ecosystems worldwide has serious ramifications people whose subsistence income tied meat. Over past 18 years, although research efforts have increased, scientific knowledge largely not translated into action. One major barrier progress been insufficient monitoring evaluation, meaning that effectiveness interventions cannot be ascertained. Emerging issues include difficulty designing regulatory frameworks disentangle different purposes hunting, large scale urban consumption, implications consumption human health. To address these intractable challenges, wepropose eight new recommendations action sustainable use, which would support achievement United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Some animal species shift their activity towards increased nocturnality in disturbed habitats to avoid predominantly diurnal humans. This may alter diel overlap among species, a precondition most predation and competition interactions that structure food webs. Here, using camera trap data from 10 tropical forest landscapes, we find hyperdiverse Southeast Asian wildlife communities peak early mornings intact dawn dusk (increased crepuscularity). Our results indicate anthropogenic disturbances drive opposing behavioural adaptations based on rarity, size feeding guild, with more the 59 rarer specialists' diurnality for medium-sized generalists, less larger hunted species. Species turnover also played role underpinning community- guild-level responses, associated markedly detections of generalists predators. However, predator-prey or competitor guilds does not vary disturbance, suggesting net be conserved.
