Primates, represented by 521 species, are distributed across 91 countries primarily in the Neotropic, Afrotropic, and Indo-Malayan realms. Primates inhabit a wide range of habitats play critical roles sustaining healthy ecosystems that benefit human nonhuman communities. Approximately 68% primate species threatened with extinction because global pressures to convert their for agricultural production extraction natural resources. Here, we review scientific literature conduct spatial analysis assess significance Indigenous Peoples’ lands safeguarding biodiversity. We found account 30% range, 71% these lands. As on increases, less likely be classified as or have declining populations. Safeguarding lands, languages, cultures represents our greatest chance prevent world’s primates.

Abstract Landscape connectivity, the extent to which a landscape facilitates flow of ecological processes such as organism movement, has emerged central focus ecology and conservation science. Connectivity modelling now encompasses an enormous body work across theory application. The dominant connectivity models in use today are based on framework ‘landscape resistance’, is way measuring how structure influences movement patterns. However, simplistic assumptions high degree reductionism inherent resistance paradigm severely limits ability algorithms account for many fundamental aspects animal thus greatly reduces effectiveness relevance practice. In this paper, we first provide overview development surfaces. We then discuss several key drivers absent resistance-based models, with spatiotemporal variation, human interspecies interactions, other context-dependent effects. look at range empirical studies highlight strong impact these effects have predictions. But also promising avenues future research address this: newly emerging technologies interdisciplinary work, developing methodologies, conversations move beyond limiting resistance, so that can better reflect complexities richness movement.

Landscape connectivity, the extent to which a landscape facilitates flow of ecological processes such as organism movement, has grown become central focus applied ecology and conservation science. Several computational algorithms have been developed understand map many studies validated their predictions using empirical data. Yet at present, there is no published comparative analysis uses comprehensive simulation framework measure accuracy performance dominant methods in connectivity modelling. Given widespread usage models spatial science, thorough evaluation predictive abilities techniques essential for guiding appropriate effective application across different contexts. In this paper, we address by individual-based movement model Pathwalker simulate scenarios generated from wide range possible behaviours complexities. With simulated data, test three major models: factorial least-cost paths, resistant kernels, Circuitscape. Our study shows latter two these consistently perform most accurately nearly all cases, with varying substantially For majority applications, infer kernels be model, except when strongly directed towards known location. We conclude paper review interdisciplinary discussion current limitations future developments

ABSTRACT Multispecies ethnographic projects are venturing “beyond the human” (Kohn 2013), but how far can they go and remain anthropological? The answer depends on whether such align with surge of ethological research animal cultures. Based my fieldwork wild horses in Galicia, Spain, I make a case for an ethologically informed ethnography that extends cultural analysis to other social species. In this project, used techniques direct observation analyzed results using Erving Goffman's concepts face, footing, civil inattention. My inverts Clifford Geertz's classic study Balinese cockfight by making horse sociality center analysis, rather than regarding these animals as representations human status concerns. argue approach be usefully applied across range taxa evince culture, particularly those caught up conservation efforts. developing claim, draw ethnoprimatologists’ efforts synthesize multispecies methods perspectives.

Creating a future for elephants and people is highly complex dynamic challenge, involving social, behavioral, ecological dimensions as well multiple actors with various interests. To foster learning from human–elephant conflict (HEC) management projects share best practices, study was conducted to review the of conflicts between humans in 12 African countries by qualitative expert interviews. Based on this information, HEC framework developed two-tiered process. In first phase, theory developed. second theoretical validated adjusted through stakeholder participation two southern (in Mozambique Malawi). This holistic approach considers environmental political, cultural, economic factors directly or indirectly affecting interactions wildlife. The integrates six interlinked strategies guide managers conservation practitioners address HWC drivers mitigate their impact. A legal environment spatial planning form basis framework. Social strategies, including meaningful engagement design appropriate institutional structures processes are considered heart Technical financial represent its arms hands. At top, monitoring steers all processes, provides feedback adjustment, informs decisions. integration coordination these has great potential guiding route human–wildlife coexistence Africa elsewhere.

Translocations are the human-mediated movements of living organisms for conservation and non-conservation purposes. Conservation translocations have become popular important tools. Nevertheless, they commonly lack a standard definition success clear evaluation criteria. We used literature review to investigate if how translocation is defined assessed, research case studies clarified drivers failure. reviewed primary scientific reports IUCN Global Reintroduction Perspectives (GRPs) that focused on raptors, species high socio-ecological value but often endangered by human activities. found neither usually reported explicit definitions or standardised assessments success. The only few were mainly shaped ecological biological considerations, with criteria varying based types. GRPs included frequent mismatches across report sections evaluate Despite ecological, species-intrinsic factors being set as indicators, major difficulties encountered methodological socio-political, concerning community. call rethinking in better reflect their multidimensionality practice, further investigation challenges between conservationists. To guide future translocations, we propose an framework acknowledges multiple dimensions subjectivity its outcomes, process learning perspectives at different timescales. also recommend known importance sociopolitical should favour redefinition field from reintroduction biology science.

Research on animal ethics in tourism has gained traction but posthumanist approaches to wildlife (eco)tourism remain sparse. There never been a more urgent need redress this paucity theory and practice. More than 60% of the world’s died-off last 50 years, 100 million-plus nonhuman animals are used for entertainment tourist attractions (WTAs), one billion “wildlife” live captivity, some scholars argue that earth entered its sixth mass extinction event known as Anthropocene. This paper presents multispecies livelihoods framework (MLF) based an applied ethnographic study 47 ecotourism (WE) operators researchers protected area WTAs across four countries. Like any framework, it is snapshot authors’ thinking at particular time must be improved upon. The MLF does not purport solve negative treatment nonhumans can occur settings, rather responds calls literature acknowledge our effects other species advocates equitable human-nonhuman livelihoods. argues we have moral responsibility environment, authors hope generate reflexive discourse concerning role play redressing ecological crisis improving individual foster wildlife-human coexistence.
