Robust Algorithms for Drone-Assisted Monitoring of Big Animals in Harsh Conditions of Siberian Winter Forests: Recovery of European elk (Alces alces) in Salair Mountains

Animals, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 12(12), P. 1483 - 1483

Published: June 8, 2022

There are two main reasons for monitoring the population of forest animals. First, regular surveys reveal real state biodiversity. Second, they guarantee a prompt response to any negative environmental factor that affects animal and make it possible eliminate threat before permanent damage is done. The research objective was study potential drone planes equipped with thermal infrared imaging cameras large in conditions Siberian winter forests snow background at temperatures -5 °C -30 °C. surveyed territory included Salair State Nature Reserve Kemerovo Region, Russia. Drone were effective covering areas, while provided accurate statistics harsh Siberia. featured European elk (Alces alces), which gradually deteriorating due poaching deforestation. authors developed an methodology processing data obtained from drone-mounted cameras. reliable results concerning changes on question. use proved means ungulate surveying snow-covered forests. designed technical methods analytic algorithms cost-efficient can be applied areas Canadian

Exploring the intersections of governance, constituencies, and risk in genetic interventions

Abstract In June 2020, Revive & Restore hosted the Intended Consequences Workshop to explore how field of conservation can realize benefits genetic interventions and address concerns about unintended consequences these actions. A group 57 participants from eight countries representing government, academia, practice discussed implementation designed achieve objectives be optimized both risk intended consequences. Genetic are efforts manipulate composition a target at species or population level. The planning in raises questions key constituencies involved process risks characterized evaluated. Governance frameworks critical structuring dialogue decision‐making among interested parties around development manner that addresses risks, benefits, equity considerations. this article, we related issues policy governance, constituencies, as raised during discussions 2020 workshop on “Intended Consequences” interventions. We examine different characterize within particular sociocultural contexts. then revisit characterization framing suggest ways perspectives visualized inform resulting decisions.

Why intended consequences?

Conservation Science and Practice, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 3(4)

Novel conservation interventions such as assisted migration or gene editing inevitably raise the specter of potential unintended consequences, which can then delay derail action. Underappreciated are very real costs inaction. The rate climate change and pace extinction continue to outstrip predictions (IPCC, 2019). current unprecedented environmental calls for more attention being given consequences failing intervene. While it is important plan risks any intervention, just mitigate carrying on with business usual in face increasingly severe threats. To counter focus we hope that catchphrase "Intended Consequences" will help keep intended benefits nature front-of-mind during a responsible planning process through various stages intervention monitoring. goal goes beyond identifying objectives evaluating success (sensu Brooks, Wright, & Sheil, 2009). Our rebalancing risk–benefit equation give additional consideration inaction intervention.

For example, Scottish Natural Heritage began consider reintroducing beavers, people raised would negatively impact farming, forestry, fisheries, particularly salmonids (Gaywood, 2017). Frustrating delays motivated unauthorized beaver releases prior formal reintroduction. A complicated aftermath resulted many ecosystem but also some land management conflict.
