Journal ArticleDOI
Threat from deforestation to montane and lowland birds and mammals in insular South‐east Asia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the number of threatened endemic birds in the lowlands of South-east Asia with the numbers of threatened species in the highlands of the Philippines and Indonesia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes, not implementation, predict conservation success
Valerie Kapos,Andrew Balmford,Rosalind Aveling,Philip Bubb,Peter Carey,Abigail Entwistle,Teresa Mulliken,R. J. Safford,Alison J. Stattersfield,Matt Walpole,Andrea Manica +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that assessing key outcomes is often more difficult than quantifying the degree of implementation of a project but that, while implementation is a poor predictor of success, key outcomes provide a feasible and much more reliable proxy for whether a project will deliver real conservation benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Securing tropical forest carbon: the contribution of protected areas to REDD
Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Valerie Kapos,Alison Campbell,Igor Lysenko,Neil D. Burgess,Matthew C. Hansen,Holly K. Gibbs,Barney Dickson,Lera Miles +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that 1.75 million ha of forest were lost from protected areas in humid tropical forests, causing the emission of 0.25-0.33 Pg C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards understanding interactions between Sustainable Development Goals: the role of environment–human linkages
Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Rebecca C. Brock,Nicholas J. Balfour,Claire Brown,Neil D. Burgess,Neil D. Burgess,Miriam K. Guth,Daniel J. Ingram,Daniel J. Ingram,Richard Lane,Richard Lane,Juliette G. C. Martin,Juliette G. C. Martin,Sylvia Wicander,Valerie Kapos +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an action-focused assessment of interactions between SDGs, and apply an influence matrix to assess pairwise interactions between all SDGs and show how viewing these from the perspective of environment-human linkages can influence the outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global impacts of energy demand on the freshwater resources of nations.
Robert A. Holland,Kate Scott,Martina Flörke,Gareth Brown,Robert M. Ewers,Elizabeth Farmer,Valerie Kapos,Valerie Kapos,Ann Muggeridge,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Jörn P. W. Scharlemann,Gail Taylor,John Barrett,Felix Eigenbrod +13 more
TL;DR: Conordance between pressure on freshwater resources associated with energy production and freshwater scarcity in a number of river basins globally is revealed, highlighting the need to consider the full range of consequences of energy production when designing policy.
