Wildmeat consumption has however increased rapidly over recent decades as human population growth has increased and threatens biodiversity. Measuring hunting impacts at global scales is challenging as hunting can vary even at local scales between localities, social groups, habitat types, motivations, hunting techniques, and governance. A national scale focus would capture local literature and give context specific evidence. This evidence would inform national and subnational policies and decision-making that would be locally acceptable and sustainable. Here, we focus on hunting in Peru, where wildlife and forest research policy is motivated in developing local economies through sustainable wildlife use management and seeks scientific knowledge to meet its needs in this area. A systematic map of the literature would provide an overview of the state of knowledge on hunting and identify research gaps, which is currently lacking and would help inform policy. This protocol describes the process for conducting a systematic map to address the following question: what evidence exists on the drivers, ecological and socio-economic outcomes, and distribution of hunting in Peru?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A study is included if it presents information on hunting of at least one species and a location description.

Extracted data will include location and habitat, hunting details (e.g., techniques, motivations, and governance), species hunted, and reported ecological and socio-economic outcomes and how these were measured. To identify knowledge gaps, we will map the distribution of hunting studies by region, province, and habitat type.

Greening of grey infrastructure (GGI) - an eco-engineering method applied to the marine context - aims to increase the ecological value of traditional grey infrastructure, while still allowing it to perform its primary human-centric function. GGI is a rapidly increasing field of research, being tested and implemented worldwide by academics, private practitioners, governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), amongst others, using a variety of methods. Outcomes vary widely, and results are communicated across a range of peer-reviewed and grey literature, rendering the evidence base for the effectiveness of GGI fragmented. To inform future decision-making regarding GGI application, it is critical to consolidate and evaluate existing research. To do so, we propose a systematic review and meta-analysis that will answer the following primary question: \"What are the effects of GGI interventions applied to marine structures on the diversity, abundance, biomass, composition, and functional diversity of species on or around these ecologically enhanced structures?\". Additionally, we will answer a series of secondary questions relating to intervention type, material use, geographic variations and other relevant associated variables.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This systematic review will follow the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence Guidelines and Standards for Evidence Synthesis in Environmental Management.

To assess anthropogenic drivers for sustainable management, the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) distinguished five main anthropogenic drivers: direct exploitation of fish and seafood, sea use change, human-driven climate change, pollution, and invasive alien species. However, evidence of the drivers' relevance and their potential effects on species and the environment over time remains scarce. This systematic map provides knowledge on the five main anthropogenic drivers in the North Sea from 1945 to 2020 and identifies potential knowledge gaps in terms of management implications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;To identify relevant articles we used our published systematic map protocol. We conducted systematic searches of academic and grey literature in English, German, and French in online databases (Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, AquaDocs). The search followed a Population-Exposure-Comparison-Outcome framework and included the period January 1945 to December 2020. A total of 22,511 articles were deduplicated and screened by title and abstract, the remaining 5795 were screened full-text to provide a widely integrated evidence base. A set of 3356 articles were retained following eligibility criteria and were included in the final database.
