This study uses genetic data to understand how landscape and environmental factors influence demographic connectedness in Europe’s largest brown bear population and to assist in mitigating planned infrastructure development in Romania.
This review of the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 might inform the future use of public funds to improve and repair the nation’s highways, railways, seaports and airports as the U.S. Congress and the Trump Administration consider new transportation infrastructure legislation in 2019 and 2020.
This article discusses a framework of connectivity conservation by developing condition-specific targets and indicators, and establishing a monitoring program to evaluate the effectiveness of conservation actions.
This excerpt of bill, S. 2302, includes an entire section on Wildlife Crossing Safety for the first time ever. Highlighting section 1125 which creates a $250 million wildlife crossing pilot program and initiates other activities aimed at reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions and improving habitat connectivity.
By REQUEST ONLY: Road ecology research has tended to focus on wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) while omitting or failing to differentiate domestic (i.e., livestock) animal-vehicle collisions (DAVCs). Using a ten-year collision data set for Montana, we show that WVCs and DAVCs occur at different times of the day, during different seasons of the year, and in
Featured in the United Nations Environment Programme’s Frontiers 2018/19: Emerging Issues of Environment Concern, this article highlights the forces of fragmentation, the demand for diverse solutions, and the opportunity to set targets for connectivity conservation that can prevent further fragmentation and biodiversity loss, while increasing resilience to the effects of climate change.
From 4-7 November 2019, over 50 scientists, conservation experts, natural resource managers, and policymakers from 13 countries gathered in Poiana Brasov to advance the practice of connectivity conservation in Romania and the wider Carpathian Mountains; one of Europe’s most biodiverse and intact ecosystems. Convened under the leadership of the BearConnect Project Research Consortium, the Center
Protected areas are one of the most effective means by which biodiversity is conserved, but are often criticized for either neglecting the importance of local communities or sacrificing conservation objectives for political expedience. In this study, we compared U.S. protected areas resulting from congressional designation vs. presidential designation with respect to their ecological context (using
