With the support of IUCN and international partners, national authorities and experts are ready to take steps towards improving the effective governance and management of protected areas, and apply the One Health approach together with the IUCN Green List Standard and the latest knowledge on zoonoses.

Presl is a perennial herbaceous plant occurring in Xinjiang, Siberia, Central Asia and Europe. This species exhibits several potentially valuable medicinal properties and has ornamental value, but it has declined as a result of habitat degradation and loss, and collection. Globally, the number of mature individuals is , , and is decreasing. In China, this species is categorized as a national secondclass protected wild plant. Although it is categorized as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, it is categorized as Endangered on the China Biodiversity Red List–Higher Plant Volume. In August , we discovered a wild population of N. candida in Gongliu County, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang. We took samples and the species was introduced and cultivated in Yili Botanical Garden. The cultivated Nymphaea candida seedlings developed leaves during April–May , and flowered during June– July. The flowers open in the afternoon and close in the evening, for – days. The plants bore fruit during August–September , and we were able to collect the seeds. In November, the stems and leaves withered and died. The successful flowering and fruiting of N. candida in Yili Botanical Garden demonstrates the potential for ex situ conservation of this species. This success provides a practical foundation for establishing artificial cultivation centres and for future reintroductions of the species. We are conducting a comprehensive study of its genetics, reproductive biology, physiological ecology, medicinal value and ecology.","PeriodicalId":19694,"journal":{"name":"Oryx","volume":"57 1","pages":"559 - 560"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42485781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Satellite data and ground-truthing during our visit revealed that suitable habitat remains extensive on the island; capture for the songbird trade (easy with shamas, as they respond to playback of songs and fly straight into nets/traps) is the only plausible explanation for the bird’s disappearance. Two Kangean trappers independently told me that the Kangean shama has not been observed or caught in the main archipelago for . years; one said it was common until the early s. Two households in Arjasa, Pulau Kangean, had pet shamas, but neither was a native nigricauda, or the rare (and also distinctive) form omissus from neighbouring Java; both were probably imported from Kalimantan. Among hobbyist Javan songbird keepers, the phrase Murai Kangean (Kangean shama) is apparently unfamiliar (J. Menner, in litt.), suggesting birds from Kangean have not been in trade for some time. A few shamas that appeared identical to C. malabaricus nigricauda were found in trade in , apparently collected on a very remote island (anonymity preserved) that year. These birds were purchased and are the founders of a captive breeding programme on Java (numbering birds in June ; J. Menner, in litt.). Both Kangean trappers named the island in question unprompted, and one of them had personally visited it to trap shamas in , and, ominously without success, . The island is only small, has a jetty and settlements and given the speed at which insular shama populations elsewhere in Indonesia have been extirpated, is likely to become extinct in the wild without immediate conservation action. If a wild population of Kangean shamas does still persist, we may have only months to save it. A visit to the island is planned for as soon as is logistically and financially possible; if shamas do remain, in situ conservation should be implemented urgently.","PeriodicalId":19694,"journal":{"name":"Oryx","volume":"57 1","pages":"557 - 558"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48788559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

The conceptual framework of the SSC is the Species Conservation Cycle, which has five components. The first three are consecutive—Assess, Plan and Act—and the other two, Network and Communicate, are transversal (Rodríguez et al., ). Every year, SSC groups set goals for the year to come, and report on their achievements of the previous year, all within this framework. The mission of the SSC includes the provision of knowledge on the status and trends of species, and the facilitation of conservation planning, and thus there is a natural synergy between the aims of the Commission and the remit of Oryx. In December , we established a partnership to encourage SSC members to submit their research to the journal, with SSC covering, where necessary, the open access fee of accepted articles authored by group members. In parallel, SSC members were encouraged towrite for the ConservationNews section of the journal, to share recent information of general conservation interest in their field of work. Since the partnership began,Oryx has published articles and Conservation News items from the SSC network. Following the growing success of this partnership, we have renewed it for and anticipate to maintain it thereafter. This issue of Oryx presents articles published under this partnership. Of particular note is the wide breadth of research contributed by the SSC network. Filling information gaps and communicating findings to the wider world is a major role of SSC experts, and in this context Goodman () examines the changing knowledge landscape in Madagascar, one of the hottest of biodiversity hotspots. He contrasts information from two major natural history books published years apart, finding that initial estimates of endemism have held, or in some cases increased, over this time. The participation of Malagasy authors has grown substantially, and knowledge of many poorly known taxa, such as various groups of invertebrates, has also expanded. Most recent efforts have focused on terrestrial biota, however, highlighting a major gap in the study of the marine world. Meijaard et al. () present an analysis of future scenarios for conservation of the Bornean orangutan Pongo pygmaeus in so-called Whole-Earth or Half-Earth contexts (Büscher et al., ). They find that although intuition might suggest a higher likelihood of survival in the Whole-Earth scenario, this could entail relaxing levels of protection throughout the species’ range, even in well-protected areas, whereas the Half-Earth scenario would in contrast imply setting aside areas exclusively for conservation. Their analysis suggests that, in the medium term, transi","PeriodicalId":19694,"journal":{"name":"Oryx","volume":"57 1","pages":"545 - 546"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41821076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}
