Abstract Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation following intensive agricultural expansion, both legal illegal logging, have contributed to the rapid decline of Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus) over mainland Southeast Asia. Dry forest habitat in Bago Yoma range (Myanmar) is considered one region’s last remaining strongholds for species. However, area has been fragmented past years, mostly due large-scale teak (Tectona grandis) plantations. This study aimed estimate population with a particular focus on use plantations as possible complementary The survey was conducted 47 line transects located natural average estimated density, using distance sampling, 0.800 calling males km–2 across whole area.

Abstract Although 23% of Thailand’s land is in protected areas, these are vulnerable to climate change. We used spatial distribution modelling for 866 vertebrate and 591 plant species understand potential change impacts on areas. Most mammals, birds, plants were projected decline by 2070, but most amphibians reptiles increase. By 2070 under RCP8.5, 54% modeled will be threatened 11 nationally extinct. However, SDMs sensitive truncation the space currently occupied habitat loss hunting, apparent data limitations. In Thailand, lowland forest clearance has biased records forest-dependent cooler uplands (> 250 m a.s.l.) hunting confined larger vertebrates well-protected contrast, available towards non-forest taxa reptiles. Niche may therefore have resulted overestimation vulnerability some mammal species, while limitations likely led underestimation threat view certainty many uncertainties regarding biological responses, we recommend regular, long-term monitoring communities detect early signals impacts.

ABSTRACT Synanthropes are known for their remarkable adaptability to coexist with humans, yet increased visibility exposes them significant threats, such as hunting or conflict over resources.

Our critical evaluation this study revealed several substantial issues: the pooling data from species that ecologically behaviourally distinct, an error acquisition, potential biases statistical analyses, misrepresentations threats wildlife human‐impacted habitats. Additionally, we highlight lack evidence supporting authors' core assertion hyperabundance species. While compare densities abundance across various habitat types, analyses did not demonstrate population increases time. On contrary, our re‐analysis sets showed a decreasing trend Macaca nemestrina absence M. fascicularis 44% surveyed habitats characterized by medium high forest integrity. Further, findings emphasize importance intact forests predicting relative pigs. Overall, recommend more careful interpretation data, can result negative sensational discourses about overabundance, which may threaten conservation often thrive landscapes.

Asian elephant ( Elephas maximus ) populations are declining and increasingly fragmented across their range. In Cambodia, the Prey Lang Extended Landscape (PLEL) represents a vast expanse of lowland evergreen semi-evergreen forest with potential to support population recovery in country. To inform effective landscape-level conservation planning, this study provides first robust size estimate for elephants PLEL, based on non-invasive genetic sampling during 2020–2021 dry season three protected areas: Lang, Preah Roka Chhaeb Wildlife Sanctuaries. Further, it an assessment species’ range, habitat suitability connectivity within landscape using Maxent Fuzzy models. Thirty-five unique genotypes (individual elephants) were identified, which six detected both Sanctuaries, providing evidence that move readily between these neighbouring areas. However, no shared Roka/Chhaeb less functionally connected southerly Sanctuary. The estimated southern was 31 (95% CI [24–41]) individuals. northern Sanctuaries is number 20 [13–22]) Habitat loss prevalent outside areas very limited; however, large swathes suitable remain. As holds be restored national stronghold flagship species, turn resulting protection array biodiversity, we recommend remaining reduction threats disturbance as top priorities.
