We use panel data covering a 10-year period from the World Bank's Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) to examine the effects of trees on farms on people's dietary quality in rural Malawi. We found that having on-farm trees leads to higher and more diverse fruit and vegetable consumption. Specifically, households who had trees on their farm (or who acquired trees during the 10-year period) exhibited a 3% increase in vegetable consumption compared to households without trees. Moreover, for every additional tree species owned or acquired by a household during the study period, fruit consumption increased by 5%. These results demonstrate that trees on farms may play a role in meeting nutrition, conservation, and climate change mitigation goals, with important implications for sustainable development strategies in low- and middle-income countries.</p>","PeriodicalId":157,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/conl.13061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143056650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we distill six key lessons and present a decision framework to guide funders, governments, protected area managers, and NGOs toward more effective use of ranger-based monitoring for protected area management and suggest when alternative monitoring approaches may add value. Essential considerations include the welfare and motivation of rangers, biases in patrol coverage and detectability, the capacity to analyze data, and the buy-in of those tasked with using the data to inform management decisions.

We found spillover effects of wildlife trade bans, leading to an increase in sales of nonbanned species in each taxon. This effect lasted over a year only for water bugs.

However, it also comes with risks, including AI being used by bad actors; high material demand for energy, land, and water; biases in training datasets; AI-fueled techno-optimism distracting from other actions; and undesirable changes in staffing and working practices in the conservation sector. Changes in wider society brought about by AI in areas such as agriculture, human health, and labor markets may also have significant impacts on biodiversity (whether positive or negative), as these are major drivers of biodiversity loss. This article reviews the various links between AI and conservation, arguing that to date there has been too much techno-optimism and a lack of attention to risks and broader implications. It concludes with recommendations for how conservation could approach AI more effectively by considering risks and potential unintended consequences; adopting a principle of transparency; ensuring AI does not harm the staff, skills, and independence of the conservation sector; and investing in research and advocacy to address the conservation implications of wider societal changes caused by AI.</p>","PeriodicalId":157,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/conl.13076","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, by projecting extinction risk backward onto human perturbation time series, we applied a statistical framework to examine extinction debt for 8435 terrestrial avian species. The results suggested that the modern extinction risk induced by anthropogenic terrestrial land modification began 150 years ago, aligning with the acceleration of human activities since the Second Industrial Revolution. Intriguingly, we found a reversal of anthropogenic effects on extinction risk over the mid-20th century, perhaps driven by spatiotemporal contrasts in anthropogenic perturbations between developed and developing areas.

FPAs failed to cover nearly half of high-abundance regions and two thirds of medium-abundance areas. Despite initially better conditions, FPAs experienced similar or greater species declines and habitat deterioration. Porpoise distribution closely correlated to habitat conditions, with abundance declining most in severely degraded floodplains while remaining stable or increasing in less disturbed areas. To improve FPA performance, we recommend expanding protection to medium- and high-abundance areas to better cover key porpoise habitats and enhancing existing FPAs through stricter law enforcement, proactive management, and targeted restoration.

Globally, Indigenous people are lobbying for environmental research to take a rights-based approach that improves economic opportunities; confers greater authority over the stewardship of Country; delivers equity in managing Country; emboldens control to integrate knowledge systems; values and promotes culture; and recognizes Indigenous self-determination. In Australia, the National Indigenous Environment Research Network (NIERN) proposal offers a solution that supports the rights-based approach driven by Indigenous Australians through the establishment of a community of practice guided by Indigenous researchers and Indigenous Knowledge holders.
