An interoperable and standardized protocol for reporting systematic conservatio...
Jung, Martin; Adams, Vanessa; Alagador, Diogo; Alvarez-Romero, Jorge G.; Araujo, M.B.; Arponnen, Ann; Beger, Maria; Beher, Jutta; Carvalho, Silvia B.Systematic conservation planning (SCP) is an operational and scientific framework that assists in deciding where, how, and when to implement conservation intervention. Studies using SCP approaches have proliferated due to their immediate relevance for applied conservation. For example, they can help identify cost-effective opportunities for expanding areas under conservation management to achieve high-level pol...
Modelling the probability of meeting IUCN Red List criteria to support reassess...
Henry, Etienne G.; Santini, Luca; Butchart, Stuart H. M.; González‐Suárez, Manuela; Lucas, Pablo M.; Benítez‐López, Ana; Mancini, Giordano; Jung, MartinComparative extinction risk analysis—which predicts species extinction risk from correlation with traits or geographical characteristics—has gained research attention as a promising tool to support extinction risk assessment in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, its uptake has been very limited so far, possibly because existing models only predict a species' Red List category, without indicating ...
Accelerating and standardising IUCN Red List assessments with sRedList
Cazalis, Victor; Di Marco, Moreno; Zizka, Alexander; Butchart, Stuart H.M.; González-Suárez, Manuela; Böhm, Monika; Bachman, Steven P.The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species underpins much decision-making in conservation and plays a key role in monitoring the status and trends of biodiversity. However, the shortage of funds and assessor capacity slows the uptake of novel data and techniques, hampering its currency, applicability, consistency and long-term viability. To help address this, we developed sRedList, a user-friendly online platform ...
An assessment of the state of conservation planning in Europe
Jung, Martin; Alagador, Diogo; Chapman, Melissa; Hermoso, Virgilio; Kujala, Heini; O'Connor, Louise; Schinegger, Rafaela; Verburg, PeterExpanding and managing current habitat and species protection measures is at the heart of the European biodiversity strategy. A structured approach is needed to gain insights into such issues is systematic conservation planning, which uses techniques from decision theory to identify places and actions that contribute most effectively to policy objectives given a set of constraints. Yet culturally and historical...

Quantifying Earth system interactions for sustainable food production via exper...
Chrysafi, Anna; Virkki, Vili; Jalava, Mika; Sandström, Vilma; Piipponen, Johannes; Porkka, Miina; Lade, Steven J.; La Mere, Kelsey; Wang-Erlandsson, LanSeveral safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the safe operating space for humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored interactions among seven variables representing Earth system processes relevant to food production, identifying many interactions little explored in Earth sy...
A research perspective towards a more complete biodiversity footprint: a report...
Marques, Alexandra; Robuchon, Marine; Hellweg, Stefanie; Newbold, Tim; Beher, Jutta; Bekker, Sebastian; Essl, Franz; Ehrlich, Daniele; Hill, SamanthaThe impact of human activities on biodiversity is increasingly putting at risk the capacity of Nature to support human well-being (IPBES 2019). The recent Global Assessment of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reiterated the importance of land- and sea-use changes, exploitation, climate change, pollution and the introduction of invasive alien species as the major dire...

Hudson, Lawrence N.; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L.L.; Lysenko, Igor; Palma, Adriana de; Phillips, Helen R.P.; Senior, Rebecca A.Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species' threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodivers...

Hudson, Lawrence N; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L L; Lysenko, Igor; De Palma, Adriana; Phillips, Helen R P; Alhusseini, Tamera IThe PREDICTS project-Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)-has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical mod...
