Journal ArticleDOI
How will oil palm expansion affect biodiversity
Emily Fitzherbert,Matthew J. Struebig,Alexandra C. Morel,Finn Danielsen,Carsten A. Brühl,Paul F. Donald,Ben Phalan +6 more
TL;DR: Large biodiversity losses will only be averted if future oil palm expansion is managed to avoid deforestation, and strong overlap between areas suitable for oil palm and those of most importance for biodiversity is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuel Plantations on Forested Lands : Double Jeopardy for Biodiversity and Climate
Finn Danielsen,Hendrien Beukema,Neil D. Burgess,Neil D. Burgess,Faizal Parish,Carsten A. Brühl,Paul F. Donald,Daniel Murdiyarso,Ben Phalan,Lucas Reijnders,Matthew J. Struebig,Emily Fitzherbert,Emily Fitzherbert +12 more
TL;DR: Reducing deforestation is likely to represent a more effective climate-change mitigation strategy than converting forest for biofuel production, and it may help nations meet their international commitments to reduce biodiversity loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary assessment of the flagship species concept at a small scale
TL;DR: Since these classic Latin American flagship species fail to encompass particularly high numbers or abundances of vertebrate species at a local scale, they appear to be a poor conservation tool when co-opted as umbrella species for delineating the location of very small reserves in the neotropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal food insecurity and perceived social support in rural Tanzania.
TL;DR: Greater social support is associated with food security, suggesting that it may protect against the occurrence of seasonal food insecurity and increasing wealth at the community level may influence food insecurity through both direct and indirect means.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation Value of Multiple-Use Areas in East Africa
Toby A. Gardner,Toby A. Gardner,Tim Caro,Tim Caro,Emily Fitzherbert,Emily Fitzherbert,Tasila Banda,Punit S. Lalbhai +7 more
TL;DR: Differences in species composition in the absence of manifest differences in species richness highlight the importance of developing landscape-scale conservation strategies and the danger of using either a limited suite of indicator taxa or umbrella species as surrogates for biodiversity.
