Abstract In the face of unprecedented ecological changes, conservation community needs strategies to recover species at risk extinction. On Island Maui, we collaborated with experts and managers assist climate‐resilient recovery planning for 36 at‐risk native plant by identifying priority areas management populations. To do this, developed a tailored spatial prioritization (SCP) approach distinguished its emphasis on transparency, flexibility, expert (TFE) engagement. Our TFE SCP consisted 2 iterative steps: first, generation multiple candidate footprints (i.e., solutions) flexible greedy algorithm that reflects practitioners’ priorities and, second, selection an optimal footprint based consideration trade‐offs in expert‐agreed criteria among footprints. This process maximized buy‐in involving practitioners throughout, from setting goals reviewing optimization data, defining rules, designating units meaningful practitioners. We minimized area necessary meet while incorporating species‐specific measures habitat suitability climate resilience retaining information guiding efforts. reduced overall 36%, compared selecting habitats each separately, still identified high‐quality individual species. Compared prioritizr (an existing tool), our equal size but higher quality habitat. By integrating strengths techniques transparent design, can address natural resource constraints provide outputs suitable local planning, consequently enhancing engagement experts. It demonstrates step forward making more responsive real‐world complexities helps reduce barriers implementation

Abstract Anthropogenic activities threaten global biodiversity and ecosystem services. Yet, area-based conservation efforts typically target protection whilst minimising conflict with economic activities, failing to consider Here we identify priority areas that maximise both the of mangrove their We reveal despite 13.5% distribution being currently strictly protected, all species are not adequately represented many provide disproportionally large services missed. Optimising placement future protect 30% mangroves potentially safeguards an additional 16.3 billion USD coastal property value, 6.1 million people, 1173.1 Tg C, 50.7 fisher days yr −1 . Our findings suggest there is a pressing need for including in protected area design strategic prioritisation coordination could substantial benefits human wellbeing.

Expanding and managing current habitat species protection measures is at the heart of European biodiversity strategy. A structured approach needed to gain insights into such issues systematic conservation planning, which uses techniques from decision theory identify places actions that contribute most effectively policy objectives given a set constraints. Yet culturally historically determined landscapes make implementation any plans challenging, requiring an analysis synergies trade-offs before implementation. In this work, we review scientific literature for evidence previous planning approaches, highlighting recent advances success stories. We find conceptual characteristics studies likely reduced their potential in contributing better-informed decisions. outline pathways towards improving uptake multi-criteria various scales, particularly need (a) open data intuitive tools, (b) integration biodiversity-focused with multiple objectives, (c) accounting dynamic ecological processes functions, (d) better facilitation entry-points co-design practices scenarios stakeholders. By adopting these practices, might become more actionable adaptable implementable outcomes. This article part theme issue ‘Ecological novelty planetary stewardship: dynamics transforming biosphere’.

Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact restoring biodiversity ecosystem functions. We propose bringing nature‐based (also referred to as rewilding) principles rivers their allow freshwater ecosystems heal themselves present case study example the Wolastoq, transboundary watershed on North America's east coast. aimed identify key areas provision function secondary productivity explored how existing network protected lands contributes its conservation. first developed species distribution models 94 aquatic insects 5 aerial insectivores then considered human footprint when employing spatial prioritization meet 2 area‐based targets (17% 30% [i.e., Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 Canada's 30×30, respectively]) conservation or production. Current protection was predicted be insufficient protect either providers receivers By considering integrated strategies, actions can better allocated throughout habitat patches ensure sustained functions across watershed. Nature‐based help inform targets, providing framework incorporating into planning offering practical insights policy efforts safeguarding biodiversity.

Abstract International and national conservation policies almost exclusively focus on conserving species in their historic native ranges, thus excluding that have been introduced by people some of those extended ranges own accord. Given many such migrants are threatened goals explicitly exclude these populations may overlook opportunities to prevent extinctions respond dynamically rapidly changing environmental climatic conditions. Focusing terrestrial mammals, we quantified the number mammals established new through assisted migration (i.e., introduction). We devised 4 alternative scenarios for inclusion assisted‐migrant mainstream policy with aim preventing global extinctions. then used spatial prioritization algorithms simulate how could change priorities. found 22% (70 out 265) all identified were mirroring 25% threatened. Reassessing threat statuses combining migrant reduced status 23 (∼33% migrants). Thus, including assessments provides a more accurate assessment actual extinction risk among species. Spatial simulations showed reimagining role increase importance overlooked landscapes, particularly central Australia, Europe, southwestern United States. Our results indicated various nonexhaustive ways consider populations, due consideration potential conflicts resident taxa, provide unprecedented

Abstract Monitoring biodiversity can be critical for informing effective conservation strategies, but also deplete the resources available management actions if time and money both activities are limited. Freely participatory science data may help alleviate this issue, only quality is sufficient to inform best decisions. Our objective was quantify predicted outcomes of prioritizing action based on regional compared using targeted professional monitoring data. Using from BirdReturns program in Central Valley California as a case study, we prioritized properties probability detecting seven shorebird species, range budgets constraints. For prioritizations conducted surveys, cost deducted total budget action. Crowd‐sourced performed better than even before accounting monitoring, substantially when costs were explicitly considered. The difference performance particularly stark at lower budgets, where consumed substantial proportion budget. Synthesis applications . Prioritizing high‐quality, freely could theoretically result paying allowing managers redistribute limited
