Out of the 212 assessed species, 20% are Burmese endemics. Of those, almost 10% are microendemics that have only been reported from one specific locality and almost 40% are regional endemics, some with very restricted distributions, which are particularly threatened. Almost 25% of all assessed species are listed as threatened or potentially threatened in the IUCN Red List. In endemics, this number increases to 50.0%. The richness of all terrestrial reptile species is consistently high, and their distribution is mostly even across Myanmar with exceptions in the northern coastal regions and in the central dry zone reaching down to the lowlands in the southern part above Mon State and Tanintharyi Region. Threatened taxa are similarly distributed but with peaks in the western Mizoram–Manipur–Kachin rain forests, Kayah–Karen montane rain forest, and in the Tenesserim–South Thailand semi-evergreen rain forest. Endemism is generally even across the country with peaks in the east and south. Analysis of protected areas revealed that the majority of all species extant in Myanmar may occur in at least one protected area, but 10% are only covered by one single protected area, while in threatened and potentially threatened categories 25.0% of the taxa have been reported exclusively from outside protected areas. In endemic species this number increases to more than 30%. CITES lists 16.0% of all species, most of them in Appendix II. According to the ZIMS database, almost 50% of all threatened and potentially threatened terrestrial reptiles are represented in zoos, with breeding successes in the last 12 months for 60%. The vast majority of 88% of all Burmese endemic species are not kept in ex situ populations, suggesting that the implementation of the One Plan Approach proposed by the IUCN Conservation Planning Specialist Group (CPSG) needs to be improved to protect the unique herpetofauna.

The species is one of the most popular reptiles in local communities and media as a specialty food. The species is also subject of international trade. However, detailed information on the species' population status and potential threats are lacking. Day and night excursions were carried out along 15 transects on Ba Den Mountain. A total of 883 geckos were captured by the research team and local hunters during 45 survey hours, with an average capture rate of about 20 individuals per hour and a person. The density of <i>G. badenii</i> was calculated at up to 450 individuals per square kilometer, indicating a relatively high abundance in suitable habitats. Furthermore, we investigated local and international use and trade in the species for food consumption and as pet. According to our interviews with hunters, a single hunter may be able to capture approximately 1500 to 3000 individuals per month. Based on reported reduced capture yields of local hunters, a decline in abundance of 40% to 60% in the species' type locality is assumed in recent times. Large quantities of specimens are sold at restaurants as specialty and offered for sale online as food. Regarding the pet trade, the LEMIS data documented the import of more than 11,000 live individuals of <i>G. badenii</i> into the United States from 2018 to 2023, with a majority of wild caught individuals originating from Vietnam. Online investigations recorded the presence of <i>G. badenii</i> on 28 websites of pet shops advertised for the commercial sale in the United States and several European countries. Together with habitat fragmentation and degradation (e.g., due to road construction, tourism and forest fires), the wild population of <i>G. badenii</i> has declined sharply and will presumably continue to decline in the future, even facing the risk of extirpation at its type locality.

As biodiversity loss continues to pose a major challenge for humankind, it necessitates a re-evaluation of these biases to support the protection of biodiversity as a whole. With large language model (LLM) chatbots becoming increasingly integrated into daily life for information dissemination and education purposes, understanding their inherent biases is vital. In this study, we tested 10 popular Western LLM chatbots using simple prompts to assess how they portray bees and wasps. Butterflies, moths, flies, and mosquitoes were also included for comparison to evaluate broader societal perceptions. Our results show that bees and butterflies are indeed depicted positively by the LLM chatbots and moths somewhat positively, while wasps, flies, and mosquitoes are associated with more negative portrayals. We found that LLMs mirror prevailing human biases toward different insect groups and their perceived importance in nature conservation. Moreover, we demonstrate that LLM chatbots tend to oversimplify insect diversity by predominantly restricting “bees” to honeybees and “wasps” to yellowjackets, thereby neglecting the broader biodiversity that includes wild bees and parasitoid wasps. The chatbots also appeared to favor Nearctic species when recommending conservation priorities. By highlighting these biases and discussing their implications, our research underscores the importance of nuanced science communication and expert involvement in decision-making for nature conservation. Addressing such biases is essential to prevent the reinforcement of public misconceptions and to promote the protection of ecologically indispensable yet less popular insect groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":100680,"journal":{"name":"Integrative Conservation","volume":"4 2","pages":"254-267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/inc3.70013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At present, little is known about how the characteristics of enclosures and interpretive systems work together to influence visitors' learning about wildlife. Over a 12-month period, we assessed the features of enclosures and interpretive facilities at Guangzhou Zoo, China, and captured visitors' wildlife preferences before and after their visits using an open-ended question. By examining how these features and the overall zoo experience influenced changes in preferences, we aimed to evaluate the zoo's potential for conservation education. Our results showed that zoo visits significantly impacted visitors' wildlife preferences, increasing their fondness for a broader range of species and fostering a greater affinity for relatively unpopular species or taxa. Importantly, the interaction between the number of interpretive signs and three other factors—enclosure size, enclosure type, and the interactivity of interpretive facilities—emerged as key determinants of these preference changes.

However, many of these systems are increasingly threatened by rapid environmental changes. In this study, we performed a nationwide synthesis to understand the diversity, distribution, and relationship of traditional plant use among various ethnolinguistic groups. We identified at least 796 plant species from 160 families and 65 orders that were utilised by 34 ethnolinguistic groups to treat 25 disease types. Our findings revealed a strong relationship between linguistically similar groups, indicating that geographical proximity, linguistic background, shared cultural practices, and environmental factors collectively influence medicinal plant use patterns among different groups. Furthermore, we developed the <i>Species Use Priority Importance</i> (SUPRIM) indicator to assess the priority level of plant species based on their use among ethnolinguistic groups and disease types. Factors such as the availability of healthcare facilities, proximity to roads, educational facilities, and tree density were significantly associated with higher SUPRIM indicator values.

Initially, a preliminary online survey was conducted to assess public satisfaction with existing community green spaces and gauge their acceptance of the MBG concept. Collaborating with local government departments and nature education institutions, we established four MBGs across communities in Ningbo city. Upon completion, various nature education programs targeting children were introduced in the gardens, including plant, insect, and bird identification, nature observation, handcrafts, and writing activities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the MBGs, 50 questionnaires were randomly distributed to local parent–child families. At present, all four completed MBGs feature both indoor nature education spaces and outdoor planting areas, showcasing over 100 plant species. The assessment results show that the MBGs have positively impacted the community environment and residents' lives, offering an easily accessible space for individuals—especially children—to reconnect with nature.

This study presents findings from Nepal's first GPS telemetry study of snow leopards, shedding light on their home range size, habitat selection, and transboundary movements. GPS data were collected from four snow leopard individuals in the Kangchenjunga Conservation Area, eastern Nepal, over tracking periods ranging from 20 to 659 days, yielding a total of 4707 location points. We used three home range estimators for analysis: local convex hulls (LoCoH), fixed kernels (Kernel), and minimum convex polygons (MCP).

In this study, we employed ecological niche models to project future shifts in the distribution patterns of two endangered sister species, <i>Trigonobalanus doichangensis</i> and <i>T. vericillata</i>, which are distributed across continental and island regions of tropical Asia. We analyzed potential changes in their distribution under four different climate change scenarios for the 2050s and 2070s.
