Journal ArticleDOI
Primary forests are irreplaceable for sustaining tropical biodiversity
Luke Gibson,Tien Ming Lee,Tien Ming Lee,Lian Pin Koh,Lian Pin Koh,Barry W. Brook,Toby A. Gardner,Jos Barlow,Carlos A. Peres,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,William F. Laurance,Thomas E. Lovejoy,Navjot S. Sodhi +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that biodiversity values were substantially lower in degraded forests, but that this varied considerably by geographic region, taxonomic group, ecological metric and disturbance type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Southeast Asian biodiversity: an impending disaster
TL;DR: The looming Southeast Asian biodiversity disaster demands immediate and definitive actions, yet such measures continue to be constrained by socioeconomic factors, including poverty and lack of infrastructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is oil palm agriculture really destroying tropical biodiversity
Lian Pin Koh,David S. Wilcove +1 more
TL;DR: Using data on bird and butterfly diversity in Malaysia’s forests and croplands, it is argued that conversion of either primary or secondary forests to oil palm may result in significant biodiversity losses, whereas conversion of pre-existing cropland (rubber) to oil palms results in fewer losses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dawn of Drone Ecology: Low-Cost Autonomous Aerial Vehicles for Conservation:
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and use of an inexpensive (<$2,000) unmanned aerial vehicle for surveying and mapping forests and biodiversity (referred to as "Conservation Drone" hereafter), which is able to fly preprogrammed missions autonomously for a total flight time of ~25 minutes and over a distance of ~15 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
The state and conservation of Southeast Asian biodiversity
Navjot S. Sodhi,Mary Rose C. Posa,Tien Ming Lee,David Bickford,Lian Pin Koh,Lian Pin Koh,Barry W. Brook +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the conservation importance of Southeast Asia by comparing its degree of species endemism and endangerment, and its rate of deforestation with other tropical regions (i.e., Meso-America, South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa).
