Just ten percent of the global terrestrial protected area network is structurally connected via intact land

Abstract Land free of direct anthropogenic disturbance is considered essential for achieving biodiversity conservation outcomes but rapidly eroding. In response, many nations are increasing their protected area (PA) estates, little consideration given to the context surrounding landscape. This despite fact that structural connectivity between PAs critical in a changing climate and mandated by international targets. Using high-resolution assessment human pressure, we show while ~40% terrestrial planet intact, only 9.7% Earth’s network can be structurally connected. On average, 11% each country or territory’s PA estate As global community commits bolder action on abating loss, placement future will critical, as an increased focus landscape-scale habitat retention restoration efforts ensure those important areas set aside remain (or become)

The importance of food systems and the environment for nutrition

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 113(1), С. 7 - 16

Опубликована: Окт. 7, 2020

Global and local food system transformation is necessary in order to ensure the delivery of healthy, safe, nutritious foods both sustainable equitable ways. Food systems are complex entities that affect diets, human health, a range other outcomes including economic growth, natural resource environmental resiliency, sociocultural factors. However, contribute vulnerable ongoing climate changes threaten their sustainability. Although there has been increased focus on this topic recent years, many gaps our knowledge persist relation between factors, systems, nutritional outcomes. In article, we summarize emerging field describe what innovative nutrition research needed bring about policy era disruption degradation.

Challenges and opportunities of area-based conservation in reaching biodiversity and sustainability goals

Biodiversity and Conservation, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 31(2), С. 325 - 352

Опубликована: Дек. 1, 2021

Abstract Area-based conservation is essential to safeguard nature’s diversity. In view of expanding human land use, increasing climate change and unmet targets, area-based requires efficiency effectiveness more than ever. this review, I identify relate pressing challenges promising opportunities for effective efficient protected area governance management, enhance research, decision-making capacity building in under uncertain future developments. reveal that management particularly challenged by change, invasive species, social, political economic limitations. Protected often lacks the continuous availability data on current states trends nature threats. Biocultural conservation, climate-smart biosecurity approaches help overcome induced needs, respectively. Economic valuation shifts funding priorities can boost efficiency. In-situ monitoring techniques, remote sensing open infrastructures fill information gaps planning management. Moreover, adaptive an auspicious concept framework systematic ensure enduring areas despite unpredictable Post-2020 international biodiversity sustainable development goals could be met earlier if were effective. consequently conclude with need a global system support synthesizing at local level.
