Case report: Lumpy skin disease in an endangered wild banteng (Bos javanicus) and initiation of a vaccination campaign in domestic livestock in Cambodia

We describe a case of lumpy skin disease in an endangered banteng Cambodia and the subsequent initiation vaccination campaign domestic cattle to protect wild bovids from transmission at wildlife-livestock interface. Lumpy virus (LSDV) was first detected June 2021 rapidly spread throughout country. In September 2021, seen Phnom Tnout Pok wildlife sanctuary with signs disease. Scab samples were collected tested positive for LSDV. Monitoring using line transect surveys camera traps protected areas critical gaur populations initiated December 2021-October 2022. A collaborative multisector vaccinate livestock around priority launched July 2022 total 20,089 water buffalo vaccinated Lumpyvax TM . No LSDV or have been observed since this initial case. This report documents proposes potential intervention mitigate challenge pathogen domestic-wildlife While can support local livestock-based economies promote biodiversity conservation, it is only component integrated solution One Health approach species threats

Vulnerability to climate change of species in protected areas in Thailand

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(1)

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.

Removal from the wild endangers the once widespread long‐tailed macaque

American Journal of Primatology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 86(3)

Опубликована: Сен. 4, 2023

Abstract In 2022, long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ), a once ubiquitous primate species, was elevated to Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Threatened Species. 2023, recognizing that macaque is threatened by multiple factors: (1) declining native habitats across Southeast Asia; (2) overutilization scientific, commercial, and recreational purposes; (3) inadequate regulatory mechanisms; (4) culling due human–macaque conflicts, petition rulemaking submitted United States Fish Wildlife Service add species US Species Act, nation's most effective law protect at risk species. The remains unprotected much its geographical range despite documented continual decline related sub‐species recent IUCN reassessment. This commentary presents review factors have contributed dramatic this keystone makes case raising level protection they receive.

Mapping the distribution of the Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) within natural forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo

Опубликована: Апрель 25, 2024

Borneo Malaysia Poachingprojected the distribution of Sunda pangolins in Sabah.Additionally, we assessed accessibility their forest habitats to humans understand potential threats.Our model indicated that, as 2015, approximately half Sabah's land area (39,530 km 2 ) is suitable for pangolins, with 43% protected forests, 38% production and 19% outside these areas.Alarmingly, our data suggest that nearly all (91%) are relatively easily accessible poachers.Our findings provide a state-level baseline understanding pangolin assess threats Sabah.These can inform short-and long-term conservation management plans safeguard this critically endangered species.

A model for the noninvasive, habitat-inclusive estimation of upper limit abundance for synanthropes, exemplified by M. fascicularis

Science Advances, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(21)

Опубликована: Май 24, 2024

Accurately estimating population sizes for free-ranging animals through noninvasive methods, such as camera trap images, remains particularly limited by small datasets. To overcome this, we developed a flexible model upper limit populations and exemplified it studying group-living synanthrope, the long-tailed macaque ( Macaca fascicularis ). Habitat preference maps, based on environmental GPS data, were generated with maximum entropy combined data obtained from traps, line transect distance sampling, direct sightings to produce an expected number of individuals. The mapping between habitat individuals was optimized tunable parameter ρ (inquisitiveness) that accounts repeated observations Benchmarking against published highlights high accuracy model. Overall, this approach combines citizen science scientific reveals be (up 80%) smaller than expected. model’s flexibility makes suitable many species, providing scalable, tool wildlife conservation.

Conservation of southern yellow-cheeked gibbons (Nomascus gabriellae) in the Anthropocene

Abstract The endangered southern yellow-cheeked gibbons ( Nomascus gabriellae ) occupy a fragmented habitat in Vietnam and Cambodia, with declining populations due to hunting, loss climate change. This study integrates population viability modelling expert surveys offer comprehensive insights into the species’ current state its future prospects human-shaped world. Our confirms decline suggests that reduction hunting is necessary save this unique species from extinction. While poses long-term extinction risk, rates threaten survival on timescale of several decades. Crucially, large Phnom Prich Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuaries Cat Tien, Chu Yang Sin Bu Gia Map National Parks play key role species, as does connectivity these habitats. confirm priority protecting provide specific conservation actions for case Tien Park are based systematic stakeholder mapping. Altogether, work assesses Anthropocene strategies incorporate both ecological social aspects. Graphical Highlights Southern at risk degra- dation.
