Protected areas are considered the backbone of biodiversity conservation, but their management often fails because local people not involved, and needs ignored. A socioecological approach has been demonstrated to be effective in improving relationship between conservation efforts human wellbeing through a better understanding interdependence nature people. This can observed case Kichwa indigenous communities within Yasuní National Park, Ecuador, as they have retained very close with forest ecosystems. Using key respondent interviews, along semi-structured interviews focus groups, this research describes complex changing ecosystems wellbeing. The results highlight food, health, cultural identity most important benefits that obtain from forests. also sheds light on how investigated area perceive dynamics systems, indicating petroleum, infrastructure development, small-scale agriculture direct drivers land governance presence colonists indirect changes paper demonstrates importance monitoring systems adapting balance economic, social, ecological challenges.

In December 2022, 196 countries adopted the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework under Convention on Biological Diversity. The outlines four ambitious global goals and 23 targets for world to address loss of biodiversity more sustainable use natural resources. One those targets—Target 3—commits achieving protection at least 30% terrestrial inland water areas marine coastal by 2030 (the “30 × 30 target”). This is one largest conservation commitments that around have made. Prior signing Framework, a survey residents in seven (Australia, Barbados, Colombia, Germany, Kenya, Mongolia, USA) was conducted understand their level awareness gauge support target. surveyed late strong majority respondents each country rated target favorably were likely government making it. only multi-country pre-Global provides useful baseline track changes opinion over time.

Introduction The allocation of limited resources to simultaneously protect biodiversity and provide ecosystem services (ESs) is a critical global challenge in achieving the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. One common strategy for this expand existing protected areas (PAs), but efficiency different expansion methods ESs remains unknown. Methods This study investigated two strategies, preserving PAs (“locking”) versus reassessing their boundaries (“unlocking”), evaluate effectiveness ES targets. used Marxan, spatial modeling tool, assess strategies on Hainan Island China. Results discussion current system, which encompasses 8.82% island, inadequate protecting target levels ES. We experimented with expanding 15% using both strategies. results revealed that, compared “unlocking” strategy, “locking” favored protection (66.49% vs 86.84%), did so at expense conservation. In contrast, required larger area led increased habitat fragmentation wtih approach. These findings underscore need strategic approach balancing between conservation provision. offers valuable insights that could be broader applications management planning.

Abstract The Lorestan newt ( Neurergus kaiseri ) is a vulnerable amphibian endemic to the Zagros Mountains in Iran. This study aimed identify core habitats, assess potential dispersal corridors, and evaluate effectiveness of current conservation efforts. Ensemble species distribution models predicted suitable habitat across newt's range, with annual precipitation temperature as most influential factors. Connectivity simulations revealed critical primarily concentrated northwestern region, that spanned 2,233.43 km², none which fell within designated protected areas. Corridor analysis identified viable pathways between northern southern populations, but only 2.77% corridor network was protected. Roads dams frequently intersected putative posing significant fragmentation threats. These results underscore urgent need for expanded efforts, including establishment new areas measures mitigate fragmentation, ensure connectivity long‐term viability populations. Our findings provide valuable insights guide future strategies this endangered species.

In sub-Saharan Africa, protected areas are located in close proximity to communities, leading frequent negative encounters between humans and wildlife. This is coupled with increased pressure from communities seeking park resources support their livelihoods. To address this, land use plans have been designed around areas. For example, Kenya, wildlife conservancies created out of private community lands. The aim these contribute improved livelihoods, reduce human–wildlife conflicts, increase for conservation. However, limited research exists on how the achieved aims among local communities. study focuses Maasai Mara region Kenya examines livelihoods conflicts influence conservation conservancy members. Data were gathered 411 households adjacent reserve through a survey conducted June July 2024. findings indicate high incidence conflict security health education only. Despite there satisfaction model strong Although highlight significance mitigating conflict, enhancing garnering support, more attention needed food financial security.
