TL;DR: The International Workshop on Habitat Fragmentation and Biodiversity Conservation, held at the Thousand Island Lake, Zhejiang, China, discussed threats to biodiversity in fragmented landscapes and how fragmentation research can identify and help mitigate these threats as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the drivers of Southeast Asian biodiversity loss
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of threats to regional biodiversity in the Southeast Asia region is presented, and the overall prognosis of regional biodiversity and priority actions to protect SE Asian biodiversity are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing China's Ecological Redline Policy using ecosystem services assessments for land use planning.
TL;DR: This work proposes a transdisciplinary framework to determine ecological redline areas (ERAs) in Shanghai using ES, biodiversity and ecologically fragile hotspots, landscape structure, and stakeholder opinions and determines the five criteria to identify ERAs for Shanghai using multi-temporal, high resolution images and biophysical models.
