Duncan Knowler,Ben Bradshaw +1 more
TL;DR: This article reviewed and synthesized this past research in order to identify those independent variables that regularly explain adoption, and thereby facilitate policy prescriptions to augment adoption around the world, concluding that efforts to promote conservation agriculture will have to be tailored to reflect the particular conditions of individual locales.

Shears,German Soler,Elisabeth M. A. Strain,Russell Thomson +25 more
TL;DR: The results show that global conservation targets based on area alone will not optimize protection of marine biodiversity, and more emphasis is needed on better MPA design, durable management and compliance to ensure that MPAs achieve their desired conservation value.
