In summary, this landscape approach provides a cost-effective, improved assessment of management efforts and ultimately, improved conservation for a variety of marine ecosystems.
Such knowledge is essential towards improving conservation strategies for this threatened species in Canada [ 61].
This article describes the strategy of PGIES for working with communities in and around protected areas to modify livestock production, for improved conservation of natural resources.
With a strong focus on biodiversity hotspots, California landscapes, and the tropics, the results identify strategies for improving conservation by focusing on the processes, as well as products of evolution.
Although genomics holds promise for improving conservation efforts [ 8], varying interpretation of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from wolves and coyotes [ 9, 10] has, so far, only added to the confusion among non-geneticists and policy makers, to the detriment of eastern wolf conservation in Canada and grey wolf (Canis lupus) conservation in the USA.
No-take reserves constitute one tool to improve conservation of marine ecosystems, yet criteria for their placement, size, and arrangement remain uncertain.
Information generated using BRUVS may be useful in helping design improved conservation strategies for rare or threatened elasmobranchs.
Here, we investigated the effects of organic vs. conventional farming in large- vs. small-scale agricultural landscapes on wild bee communities and their floral resources to improve conservation schemes for pollinators.
Scott Allan Orr, from the School of Geography and the Environment, said they wanted to understand how the figures have eroded in order to improve conservation efforts for similar carvings.
This suggests that we can use our traditional and growing ecological understanding to improve conservation outcomes for these systems through processes like adaptive management, and that new ecological theory to underpin novel ecosystems is not required.
