We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species. We used expert-based species range maps from the 1970s and compared them with current distributions to estimate changes in range area and PA coverage over the last 5 decades. We used generalized boosted models and propensity score matching to assess the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating species declines in landscape units sharing environmental features but differing in protection status. On average, mammal species were extirpated across one third of their ranges from 1970 to 2015, and 86% of this range contraction occurred outside PAs. In areas protected continuously since the 1970s, extirpation rates were half that in matched landscape units that were never protected. Areas protected since the 1970s also had lower extirpation rates compared with matched areas that became protected later. Lower species extirpation and range contraction rates were also correlated with greater area encompassed by PAs. Although the proportion of species ranges encompassed by PAs seemingly increased by 12% from 1970 to 2015, this increase may be largely attributed to the loss of species range area outside PAs rather than the strategic expansion of PAs. Our results showed that PAs can mitigate range loss and local extinctions for mammals and highlighted that PAs need to be maintained continuously over long time frames to have positive effects on biodiversity. Our findings suggest that downgrading, downsizing, and degazettement of PAs can lead to biodiversity declines, whereas the strategic achievement of targets, such as protecting 30% of land area by 2030, could facilitate species persistence.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70092"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144301280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018-2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from summer habitats in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. We then forecasted how migratory timing from 3 regions, between the New England shelf and Mid-Atlantic Bight, would respond under future sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Photoperiod and SST were strong predictors of southern migration in sharks, but the strength of these effects varied latitudinally. Overall, we found delayed departure dates from summer habitats under future elevated SSTs, indicating prolonged residency in northern habitats (median = ∼12 days). Sandbar sharks (Carcharhinus plumbeus) exhibited the largest delay in the onset of southern migrations (median = 29 days), whereas sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) and white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) exhibited the smallest delay (median = 1 day). Delays in migration timing of coastal shark species may alter local ecosystem dynamics and challenge current management strategies. These findings illustrate the utility of collaborative data-sharing networks to expand understanding of broadscale animal movements and contribute to effective species management under a changing climate.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70080"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144293432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One prominent avenue for this work is the characterization and analysis of cultural ecosystem services (CES) (i.e., nonmaterial aspects of the benefits derived from human-nature relationships). The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment introduced the term CES in 2005, and the ensuing decades have seen a blossoming of work on this topic-including extensive critique and the development of multiple closely related concepts. Because the need to recognize CESs (by whatever name) is not going away, we reflected on where CES research has been, where it is now, and where it might go. We refer to the current field as second-generation CES: a suite of approaches and innovations (biocultural indicators, relational values, and nonmaterial nature's contributions to people) that enhance, reject, or modify some of the premises of first-generation CES. These new approaches can be understood as a pluralistic menu of options to capture the essence of what CES aimed to, or failed to fully, represent. Nonmaterial factors (i.e., CES and conceptual offspring of CES) can affect conservation decision-making via 4 main channels: evaluation or assessment, elucidation of trade-offs, epistemic and social recognition, and, in some cases, the reclassification of what nature itself is.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70065"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144293434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessments of the effects of forest sacredness have mostly focused on small regions and are based on diverse methods. We used geographic information provided by the public and datasets derived from remote sensing to locate and examine changes in shrine and temple forests across Japan. We compared the aboveground vegetation structure and annual rate of forest loss of these sacred forests with their surrounding nonsacred forests and with legally protected areas. We tested whether these differences were comparable between urban and rural areas and between shrine and temple forests. Based on a sample of 35,899 sacred forests, sacred forests had higher canopy height (mean [SD] = 15.5 m [0.02] vs. 15.2 m [0.01], t test, p < 0.001) than the surrounding nonsacred forests. An annual rate of sacred forest loss was 50% lower than other forests outside legally protected areas (0.07%/year and 0.13%/year, respectively) from 2000 to 2022. Sacred forests had forest loss rates comparable to strictly protected forests (0.05%/year for International Union for Conservation of Nature categories Ia-III), and sacredness and legal protections cumulatively reduced forest loss. The protection sacred forests offer was confirmed across urban and rural areas of Japan. Large-scale assessments of sacred forests' efficiency are now possible based on geographic information provided by the public. We found that sacred forests were as effective as strict legally protected areas at preventing forest loss and that shrine and temple forests were important features of lowland urban and rural landscapes of Japan, ranging from boreal to subtropical forests. These sites need to be further considered in national or even international conservation frameworks.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70093"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144293433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, at present, there is no indicator specifically for tracking species recovery, despite this being enshrined in the mission of the Convention on Biological Diversity's Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The IUCN recently adopted the Green Status of Species (GSS), a global standard for measuring species recovery and for assessing the role played by conservation in species recovery. An index based on GSS has been adopted as an indicator for multiple elements of GBF. However, a methodology underpinning the index itself has not previously been published or elaborated. We have therefore developed the Green Status Index of Species Recovery (GSI) for use as a global indicator of progress toward species recovery. We devised GSI to reflect the uncertainties of the underlying GSS assessments and developed methods to disaggregate its global value to reflect the contribution of each country to the recovery of the species within its borders. Overall, we designed the GSI to exhibit key attributes of an effective global indicator, including an explicit objective aligned with global biodiversity goals and a sound methodological basis. The GSI complements existing indicators, such as RLI and LPI, because it fills an important niche in measuring biodiversity trends, going beyond extinction risk and population abundance. As a test, we applied the GSI to a set of species and found that these species were less than halfway to full recovery and moved farther away from full recovery since the mid-20th century. Although the deployment of GSI for complete taxonomic groups will require a considerable scaling up of effort, a sampled approach is feasible and can be operational by 2030.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70077"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144257535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, increasing pressures on biodiversity make it difficult to achieve conservation goals. Using threat probability maps based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List and the World Database of Protected Areas, we analyzed the relationship between PA coverage and the major threats to amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles-agriculture, hunting, logging, pollution, invasive species, and urbanization. We included data on 33,379 species and 255,848 protected sites. We analyzed the relationship between threat probabilities and PA coverage with generalized additive models. Then, we grouped grid cells into discrete threat-protection categories and examined global spatial patterns. We focused three types of areas: areas with a high probability of threat that coincided with inadequate PA coverage; areas that had simultaneous threats; and areas with a high concentration of threatened species. We found a potential disconnect between global PAs and threat coverage. Twenty-one percent of areas had a high probability of threat, of which 76% were insufficiently protected. Over half of amphibian and mammal habitat was highly threatened and was insufficiently covered by PAs. Amphibians were subject to the highest proportion of simultaneous threats. Underprotected areas harbored the largest proportion of threatened species across all taxonomic groups.

To help direct seabird conservation in USPIs, we conducted a survey of 75 regional seabird experts and compared results with our own technical risk assessments based on 14 scoring criteria for all 27 nonfederally listed seabird species with confirmed breeding populations in USPIs. Survey respondents identified 28 factors for ranking priority species for restoration. The 3 most cited were climate change vulnerability (36.0%), restricted distribution (10.5%), and presence of introduced predators (9.4%). They were also largely in agreement with the priority species identified in our technical risk assessment. Combining both assessments, the 5 species identified as being most in need of colony restoration projects were (in descending order) black-footed albatross (Phoebastria nigripes), Polynesian storm-petrel (Nesofregetta fuliginosa), Tristram's storm-petrel (Hydrobates tristrami), Bonin petrel (Pterodroma hypoleuca), and Tahiti petrel (Pseudobulweria rostrata). Respondents also identified 21 source colonies for translocation and 107 receptor sites for colony restoration. Our collaborative approach presented a unique opportunity to gain a collective insight into the perceived threats for seabirds throughout the region and identified priority species and potential sites for restoration projects. Furthermore, our study highlighted the fact that seabird experts across the region consider climate change and the resultant loss of low-lying seabird islands a primary conservation concern that increases the urgency of colony restoration projects on high islands across the USPIs.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70084"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144257537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds, and spread through Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America by 2021. Our objective was to summarize the spread and impact of the HPAI H5 virus in wild birds and mammals in South America, evaluate the risk of its spread and potential impact on Antarctic wildlife, and consider actions to manage the current and future HPAI outbreaks in wildlife. We obtained data on HPAI H5 virus detection and reported wildlife deaths from websites, newspaper articles, and scientific publications. The virus arrived in South America in October 2022. Thereafter, it spread widely and rapidly throughout the continent, where it infected at least 83 wild bird species and 11 wild mammal species and is estimated to have killed at least 667,000 wild birds and 52,000 wild mammals. The HPAI H5 virus spread to the Antarctic region by October 2023 and to mainland Antarctica by December 2023. This spread was associated with multiple mortality events in seabirds and marine mammals. The high spatial density of colonies of various Antarctic species of birds and mammals provides conditions for potentially devastating outbreaks with severe conservation implications. Ecosystem-level impacts may follow, and affected populations may take decades to recover. Although little can be done to stop the virus spread in wildlife, it is important to continue targeted surveillance of wildlife populations for HPAI H5 virus incursion and assessment of the spread and impact of disease to inform adaptation of conservation plans and to help policy makers mitigate and prevent future HPAI outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":10689,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Biology","volume":" ","pages":"e70052"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144224600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
