One of the main goals EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 is to avoid further loss biodiversity and restore ecosystems. These efforts can be facilitated by compiling research topics related conservation biology provide new evidence most urgent knowledge gaps, publicise it researchers, funders policy makers. We used possible future statements from Hungarian Environmental Foresight Report 2050 which identified region-specific problems. To highlight likely environmental questions, in this study we asked researchers fields ecology define questions addressing these line with international trends challenges. The resulted fourteen priority topics, split into seven clusters relevant biological that should targeted stakeholders, primarily makers focus capacity topics. overarching themes here include a wide range approaches solutions such as innovative technologies, involvement local stakeholders citizen scientists, legislation, issues human health. indicate challenges require multidisciplinary approach design multi-actor implementation. Although priorities were listed Hungary, they are European global strategies, tailored suit other Central Eastern countries well. believe our prioritisation help science–policy discussion, will eventually contribute healthy well-functioning

We identified 14 emerging and poorly understood threats opportunities for addressing the global conservation of freshwater mussels over next decade. A panel 17 researchers stakeholders from six continents submitted a total 56 topics that were ranked prioritized using consensus-building Delphi technique. Our priority fell into five broad themes (autecology, population dynamics, stressors, diversity, ecosystem services) included understanding diets throughout mussel life history; identifying drivers declines; defining metrics quantifying health; assessing role predators, parasites, disease; informed guidance on risks captive breeding translocations; loss mussel-fish co-evolutionary relationships; effects increasing surface water changes; sand aggregate mining; drug pollution other contaminants such as nanomaterials; appreciating arising river restoration; conserving understudied hotspots by building local capacity through principles decolonization; appropriate taxonomic units conservation; improved quantification services provided mussels; how many are enough to provide these services. Solutions ranged ecological studies technological advances socio-political engagement. Prioritization our can help drive proactive approach this declining group which provides multitude important

Abstract We introduce the concept of Biome Awareness Disparity (BAD)—defined as a failure to appreciate significance all biomes in conservation and restoration policy—and quantify disparities (a) attention interest, (b) action (c) knowledge among tropical science, practice policy. By analysing 50,000 tweets from Partner Institutions UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration, 45,000 main science environmental news media world‐wide, we found strong interest relative biome extent diversity. Tweets largely focused on forests, whereas open (such grasslands, savannas shrublands) received less relation their area. In contrast these differences attention, there were equivalent likes retweets between forest versus biomes, suggesting may not reflect views general public. Through literature review, that experiments are disproportionately concentrated rainforests, dry forests mangroves. More than half studies conducted reported tree planting action, inappropriate application forest‐oriented techniques. Policy implications . urge scientists, policymakers land managers recognise value for protecting biodiversity, securing ecosystem services, mitigating climate change enhancing human livelihoods. Fixing will increase likelihood United Nations Restoration successfully delivering its promises.

Entomology is key to understanding terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems at a time of unprecedented anthropogenic environmental change offers substantial untapped potential benefit humanity in variety ways, from improving agricultural practices managing vector-borne diseases inspiring technological advances.We identified high priority challenges for entomology using an inclusive, open, democratic four-stage prioritisation approach, conducted among the membership affiliates (hereafter 'members') UK-based Royal Entomological Society (RES).A list 710 was gathered 189 RES members. Thematic analysis used group suggestions, followed by online vote determine initial priorities, which were subsequently ranked during workshop involving 37 participants.The outcome set 61 within four groupings related themes: (i) 'Fundamental Research' (themes: Taxonomy, 'Blue Skies' [defined as research ideas without immediate practical application], Methods Techniques); (ii) 'Anthropogenic Impacts Conservation' Anthropogenic Impacts, Conservation Options); (iii) 'Uses, Ecosystem Services Disservices' Benefits, Technology Resources [use insects resource, or inspiration], Pests); (iv) 'Collaboration, Engagement Training' Knowledge Access, Training Collaboration, Societal Engagement).Priority encompass questions, funding objectives, new technologies, priorities outreach engagement. Examples include training taxonomists, establishing global network insect monitoring sites, extent declines, exploring roles cultivated food supply chains, connecting professional with amateur entomologists. Responses different could be led entomologists, all career stages.Overall, provide diverse array options inspire initiate entomological activities reveal contribute addressing human health well-being, change.

Thousands of artificial ('human-made') structures are present in the marine environment, many at or approaching end-of-life and requiring urgent decisions regarding their decommissioning.

Abstract Making the reasoning and evidence behind conservation management decisions clear transparent is a key challenge for community. Similarly, combining from diverse sources (e.g., scientific local knowledge) into decision‐making also difficult. Our group of researchers practitioners has co‐produced an intuitive tool template (Evidence‐to‐Decision [E2D] tool: www.evidence2decisiontool.com ) to guide through structured process transparently document report decisions. The three major steps: (1). Define Decision Context; (2). Gather Evidence; (3). Make Evidence‐Based Decision. In each step, enter information literature, practitioner knowledge experience, costs) inform their reasoning. packages this customized downloadable (or documented if using offline template), which we hope can stimulate exchange on within between organizations. By enabling revisit how why past were made, integrate forms evidence, believe our open‐access tool's help increase transparency quality in conservation.
