The dissonance between bounded management thinking and the role of green space in resident's lives may compromise conservation goals if boundedness remains a central concept in management.
Given the extent to which climate change is predicted to affect biodiversity and compromise conservation investments, it is imperative that the impacts of climate change are considered explicitly when allocating funds for conservation at a global scale.
A piecemeal treatment or mechanistic application of spatial rules in reserve design may be subject to the risk of not producing the most effective reserve network, and in some cases may even compromise the conservation objective which could be achieved otherwise.
We measured the relative priority of landscapes to indicate the urgency of conservation action to prevent conservation targets being compromised (or further compromised) by clearing of native vegetation.
In Hawaii, regarded by some as the "world capital" of extinction because of the number of unique species it has lost since it was first settled by people, the largest private landowner in the state is prepared to compromise profit for conservation.
Richard Leakey, chairman of the wildlife services' board and a celebrated conservationist, is more ready to compromise than the conservation groups.
Nonetheless, whilst recognising that investment in data might compromise investment in conservation actions, better data will eventually lead to better planning.
Areas of the landscape that are priorities for conservation should be those that are both vulnerable to threatening processes and that if lost or degraded, will result in conservation targets being compromised.
When cryptic subpopulations go unnoticed, in situ conservation efforts are compromised [1], [2].
Some of the works of Lorenzo Viani, such as "The Plague in Lucca", have suffered of a series of conservation problems, which deeply compromised the same physical integrity of the artworks and calls for important conservation interventions.
