Using a synthetic control design, we assessed two interventions: conservation covenants, which limit disturbances, and a stewardship program emphasizing active management. Our analysis, segmented by dominant vegetation group, examines both habitat condition and woody cover. Results indicate substantial variability both within and between programmes. The stewardship programme generally improved habitat conditions for native grasslands and grassy woodlands, although increased woody cover in native grasslands was a negative outcome. Conservation covenants had positive effects on grassy woodlands and modified agricultural land but were less effective in native grasslands. The study highlights challenges in private conservation, such as balancing landowner engagement with conservation goals and ensuring consistent monitoring. Long-term monitoring and adaptive management are crucial for sustainable ecological benefits, and integrating privately managed conservation efforts with public reserves has the potential to help achieving global biodiversity targets.

To comprehensively represent biodiversity, this study fully considers these three fundamental levels from the foundational concept of biodiversity. We applied systematic conservation planning theory to develop an integrated framework for identifying PCAs for key protected species in China. We used species richness (SR), weighted endemism (WE), phylogenetic diversity (PD), evolutionary distinctiveness (ED), phylogenetic endemism (PE), and ecosystem service value (ESV) as conservation indicators and built different scenarios in Zonation. The results show that the total area of PCAs is approximately 3.29 million km<sup>2</sup>, accounting for about 34.29 % of China's total land area. More than half (approximately 52.21 %) of existing protected areas (PAs) overlap with the PCAs, indicating that current PAs are somewhat effective in biodiversity protection. However, there are still some PCAs that are not located within PAs, suggesting a significant potential for expanding the PAs network. Additionally, the distribution of newly established national park pilot areas aligns well with that of the PCAs, demonstrating the effectiveness of national park policies in protecting biodiversity. This study bridges traditional ecological theory with practical conservation planning, offering new insights into the theoretical methods and practical applications for identifying PCAs.

Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to investigate the influence of CFs on these aspects between 2015 and 2019 in two watershed conservation forests in Myanmar. We used visual interpretation of very high-resolution satellite imagery and applied propensity score matching to ensure a balanced distribution of covariates. When compared directly, deforestation inside CFs (5.08 %) were higher than those outside CFs (3.89 %), while forest degradation (23.73 %) and forest increase (11.86 %) inside CFs were lower than those outside CFs (24.9 % and 16.34 %, respectively). However, these differences were not significant, and the matching results showed that CFs did not exhibit significant control over deforestation, forest degradation, forest cover change, and improvements in forest cover compared to areas outside CFs. We conclude that establishing community forests alone does not guarantee forest conservation in the short term. Therefore, community-based forest management practices are needed to address deforestation and forest degradation and achieve effective forest conservation aligned with local needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55375,"journal":{"name":"Biological Conservation","volume":"300 ","pages":"Article 110846"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142654413","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}

By comparing the cosmetic damage and mobility of the fish before and after the explosion and combining the anatomical results with the peak pressure at the location of the fish, the specific damage mechanisms of underwater explosions on fish were comprehensively analysed. Additionally, a numerical model based on the fluid–solid coupling method was developed to study the dynamic behaviour of fish subjected to underwater explosions. Finally, the attenuating effect of bubble curtains on the propagation of the water shock wave was analysed. Rupture of the swim bladder was found to be the primary cause of fish mortality. The critical peak pressure for swim bladder rupture was determined as 9.8 MPa. Based on the peak pressure obtained from experiments and autopsy results, the injury grades were meticulously categorised as follows: no injury for pressures below 3.2 MPa, slight injury for pressures of 3.2–5.2 MPa, moderate injury for pressures of 5.2–7.5 MPa, serious injury for pressures of 7.5–9.8 MPa, and extremely serious injury for pressures over 9.8 MPa. Furthermore, under the protection of a bubble curtain, the peak pressures at the two measurement points for crucian carp in the experiment significantly decreased from 13.5 MPa and 6.7 MPa to 2.4 MPa and 0.6 MPa, respectively.

Previous research indicates that species popularity can be strongly associated with conservation funding allocation, suggesting conservation outcomes can be partly influenced by subjective human perceptions. We assessed the allocation of European Union LIFE projects targeting species conservation among European birds (548 species) and how it associates with species' conservation priorities, scientific knowledge availability, distribution, popularity and visual aesthetic attractiveness. We modelled how these factors relate to the probability that a species has received EU LIFE funding, and how many projects have targeted it. As expected given LIFE funding regulations, species listed in the EU Birds Directive Annex I are more likely to receive funding than non-listed species, and receive more projects. We also found that knowledge availability, presence in more EU member countries with access to LIFE funding, and higher conservation priority in Europe are positively associated with the probability of receiving funding, and the number of projects received. More popular species are less likely to receive conservation funding, but tend to receive more projects when allocated funding. Visual attractiveness was not associated with funding. These results suggest that pragmatic factors dominate funding allocation, but subjective factors still play a minor role. Our analysis also emphasises the need to consider non-funded species when assessing conservation funding allocation.

From October to December 2022, we used a drone equipped with optical and thermal cameras to survey the species in Kim Bang Forest, a critical site for the species. We estimated langur abundance from the resulting point count data using N-mixture models including abiotic and biotic variables. We also compared the effectiveness and efficiency of the drone method with two commonly used ground-based methods. The drone survey recorded 16 groups with 104 individuals. We estimated a density of 0.87 groups per km<sup>2</sup> and a population of 25 groups and 175 individuals. This estimate is 80–113 % higher than previous ground-based estimates, attributed primarily to the higher area coverage by the drone survey. The estimate reaffirms the conservation importance of Kim Bang Forest for the species. The modelling also indicated that Delacour's langur abundance was correlated negatively with Assamese macaque (<em>Macaca assamensis</em><em>)</em> presence and positively with vegetation productivity. Other variables (elevation, terrain ruggedness and distance to forest edge) were much less important in explaining langur abundance. Compared to the ground-based methods, the drone approach proved effective and resource-efficient for surveying Delacour's langurs.
