TL;DR: The number of additional species extinctions, relative to those already incurred between 1500 and 2005, due to land-use change by 2100 across all hotspots ranged from about 220 to 21000, depending on the climate-change mitigation scenario and biological factors such as the slope of the species-area relationship and the contribution of wood harvest.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that between 2000 and 2019, most soybean expansion in South America was on pastures converted originally for cattle production, especially in the Brazilian Amazon, where 9% of forest loss was converted to soybeans by 2016.

TL;DR: These results are the first to highlight the value of integrating continuously updated variables derived from satellite remote sensing into temporally dynamic habitat suitability models to support near real-time monitoring of habitat status and decision support systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of several sample-based strategies for estimating the area of forest loss and degradation in a sample of RapidEye imagery from the country of Guyana.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used landscape connectivity modelling to identify key areas to focus conservation efforts to maintain population viability within the largest chimpanzee population in Tanzania, and found that, in recent history (1973), the entire ecosystem was linked by a series of corridors showing a high likelihood of chimpanzee movement.
