TL;DR: Though the threat of extinction is increasing, overall declines would have been worse in the absence of conservation, and current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups.

Distorted views of biodiversity: spatial and temporal bias in species occurrence data.
Elizabeth H. Boakes,Philip J. K. McGowan,Richard A. Fuller,Richard A. Fuller,Ding Chang-qing,Natalie E. Clark,Natalie E. Clark,Kim O'Connor,Georgina M. Mace +8 more
TL;DR: A historical dataset of 170,000 bird sightings over two centuries is compiled and analyzed to show how changing trends in data gathering may confound a true picture of biodiversity change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Local Cultural Context on the Success of Community‐Based Conservation Interventions
Kerry A. Waylen,Kerry A. Waylen,Anke Fischer,Philip J. K. McGowan,Simon J. Thirgood,E. J. Milner-Gulland +5 more
TL;DR: Local institutional context influenced intervention outcomes, and interventions that engaged with local institutions were more likely to succeed, Nevertheless, there was limited support for the role of community participation, conservation education, benefit provision, and market integration on intervention success.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the highest level of ambition in setting each goal, and implementing all goals in an integrated manner, will give a realistic chance of stopping and beginning to reverse biodiversity loss by 2050.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of automated bioacoustic recorders to replace human wildlife surveys: an example using nightjars.
TL;DR: This study examined the utility of automated bioacoustic recorders and the associated classification software as a way to survey for wildlife, using the European nightjar as an example and found that recorders were significantly better at detecting nightjars than human surveyors.
