We modeled their current and future habitat suitability index (HSI) by using the MaxEnt model and analyzed their current and future spatial congruence of HSI. Their suitable areas were also overlaid onto the boundaries and management zones of the reserve network. Subsequently, we designed a series of indices to assess the potential umbrella effectiveness of the reserve network under climate change. Our results indicate that their habitat spatial congruence will remain high in the future. The suitable habitat of giant pandas overlaps substantially with that of golden snub-nosed monkeys in both present and future. Importantly, the umbrella effectiveness of the reserve network for the golden snub-nosed monkey will not decrease. However, there are still some protection gaps shared by them outside the reserve network.

Building public support for bear conservation, however, and overcoming community intolerance of human–bear conflict, often requires continuous and adaptive efforts. Whenever possible, such efforts could also innovatively address local needs. Here, we attempted to first identify those factors most influencing the attitudes of communities toward the sun bear (<i>Helarctos malayanus</i>) around Dampa Tiger Reserve (DTR) (Mizoram, India). We then sought to understand if our outreach about sun bear ecology, methods for mitigating conflict, and improved livelihood options, had any long-term impact on community perceptions, local behavior, and livelihood practices. We interviewed a total of 950 locals over 5 years at three different intervals relating to our conservation programming: before activities, immediately upon concluding activities, and several years later. Overall, we found a slight increase in community support for sun bear conservation efforts between our initial (77.05%) and final interviews (82.2%). However, we observed a significantly greater increase in support among younger (&lt;40 years) respondents exposed to our outreach activities (from 72% to 88.5%) between our first and final interviews (<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.31, df = 2, <i>p</i> &lt; .050).

Finally, we found that 56.58% of total respondents had ultimately adopted alternative livelihood options that we promoted, discussed, or shared with them during our outreach programs. Furthermore, these changes were concomitant with a measurable decrease in unsustainable agricultural practices, and an increase in forest cover, around DTR.

The pathogen often interacts with other threatening processes to exacerbate declines, including predation by introduced species, habitat loss and fragmentation, and regulation of river systems. In the highly regulated floodplains of south-western New South Wales, Australia, <i>Bd</i> has been detected in populations of the southern bell frog <i>Litoria raniformis</i> (vulnerable; IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, version 2020–3), despite the region's hot, semi-arid climate. However, the effect of chytridiomycosis on the long-term persistence of <i>L. raniformis</i> populations in this region is unknown. To ameliorate the effects of flow regulation, water is diverted into certain wetlands by water managers, a process called environmental water delivery. Given the higher prevalence of <i>Bd</i> infection occurring in winter and spring, the timing of environmental water delivery could influence disease prevalence. We developed a stochastic population model to test the impact of the timing of environmental water delivery on the extinction risk of <i>L. raniformis</i>. Our simulations suggested populations are less likely to go extinct when environmental water is delivered in spring compared to late winter. Modeled inflow of cold (~10°C) river water in August produced a 0.13 probability of local extinction within the 50-year forecast window. When inflows were ~15°C (September) or ~20°C (October), the probability of local extinction was more than halved to 0.05 and 0.04, respectively. This outcome indicates that in addition to the frequency and scale of environmental water delivery, timing flows to coincide with warmer conditions should be a component of environmental-water planning to reduce the negative impacts of chytridiomycosis on threatened amphibians in floodplain systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

In Europe, various programs have been implemented to reintroduce or restock these birds. In the Alps, the Bearded Vulture (<i>Gypaetus barbatus</i>) was eradicated in the early 20th century, prompting the launch of an international reintroduction program in 1986. Through intensive monitoring of Bearded Vulture breeding territories over 26 years (1995–2021), we observed spatial and temporal changes in population size and assessed environmental and individual factors influencing breeding performance across four countries in the Alpine arc. The number of breeding pairs increased steadily from 1 in 1995 to 65 in 2021, and the number of fledglings from 0 in 1995 to 42 in 2021, although we observed significant differences across areas, with slower growth in the Eastern Alps. The breeding success (proportion of clutches leading to a fledgling) of the entire Alpine population was 68%, higher than that of other European populations. Our analysis, which included individual and environmental variables, revealed that nest elevation positively influenced breeding success, while the proportion of open habitat in the territory had a negative effect. Additionally, breeding success significantly increased with the coverage of not strictly protected areas around the nest. In terms of individual factors, longer pair bonds positively affected breeding success, and pairs composed of wild-hatched individuals had higher breeding success compared to those including released individuals. Our results confirm the overall positive trend of the reintroduced Alpine population but also highlight the increased vulnerability of the population breeding in the Eastern Alps.

This is particularly true in remote regions, where surveys are often expensive and subject to logistical challenges. Where threatened species occur on Indigenous lands, collaborative work between Indigenous people and ecologists who share an interest in the conservation and management of these species may resolve some of these challenges while also meeting additional local objectives. Here, we show the value of integrating two on-ground methods for non-invasive genetic sampling of scat to estimate the abundance of the greater bilby (<i>Macrotis lagotis</i>), a species highly significant to Indigenous people of central Australia that is threatened with extinction. We compared two on-ground methods: (1) systematic surveys, designed to be repeatable, stratified, and standardized, and (2) targeted surveys, which focused on areas where bilby sign was present and involved a more flexible and intuitive search technique undertaken collaboratively with local Indigenous people and informed by their knowledge and skills. We compared different combinations of the two methods and different sampling intensities to explore how they affected modeled estimates of bilby abundance, derived by combining information on individual bilby identities (from DNA extracted from scat) with spatially explicit capture–recapture modeling. We found that combining targeted methods for scat collection with systematic sampling provided the best modeled estimates of bilby abundance and improved modeled estimates for lower overall effort than increasing systematic sampling. This approach also allowed for the inclusion of diverse knowledges and approaches to detecting species (scat) presence. By weaving multiple approaches to find and identify bilby scat, we show how collaborative knowledge-sharing practices can also deliver multiple benefits to Indigenous and science partners.</p>","PeriodicalId":51337,"journal":{"name":"Conservation Science and Practice","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/csp2.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

As such, it is important to understand the social and ecological dimensions of risk to rhinorays to identify feasible conservation interventions. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 162 small-scale fishers in Karimunjawa National Park (KJNP), Indonesia. We collected data on fisher interactions with rhinorays, the technical and socio-economic characteristics of the fisheries, key risks to rhinorays, and potential leverage points for management, including feasible pro-conservation actions that fishers could engage in. We then constructed a linear model to identify socio-demographic predictors of fishers' stated willingness to engage in pro-conservation actions for rhinorays (specifically, willingness to release), to inform the design of future interventions. Our results indicate that socio-economic factors—fishers' perceived income contribution from catches of rhinorays and formal education levels—were significant predicators of fishers' willingness to release rhinorays. In contrast, awareness of rhinorays threat status was not a significant predictor. These findings are a first step toward understanding barriers and opportunities for engaging fishers in rhinorays conservation in KJNP.
