The concept of conservation areas was introduced in England, Wales and Scotland by theCivic Amenities Act 1967. When the legislation was introduced there was widespread public concern over the pace of redevelopment in our historic towns and cities. Today there are over 10,000 conservation areas in...
prioritized conservation areas (not including PAs and KBAs), and uncovered areas (i.e., areas not identified as conservation priorities) for each country under the global (A, C) and country (B, D) scenarios to meet the 30% and 50% conservation targets, respectively. Each...

Among contemporary threats to mountain biodiversity, biological invasions have been understudied. This large-scale synthesis on alien vertebrates in global mountains delves into their distribution, biogeographic flows, presence in Protected Areas, and key predictors of such patterns. ...
(Fig.1)18. Many previously inaccessible areas of conservation interest can now be studied through the use of high-resolution remote sensing19, and large amounts of data are being collected non-invasively by digital devices such as camera traps20, consumer cameras21, and acoustic sensors22. New...

Authors should add a note clearly stating that "map lines delineate study areas and do not necessarily depict accepted national boundaries”. During the review process, Elsevier’s editors may request authors to change maps if these guidelines are not followed. Institutional affiliations: Authors ...
Our objective was to identify high priority conservation areas in the southernmost known portion of the species’ distribution by modelling habitat selection at the landscape scale using a predictive distribution map. Our results show that the distribution of Cuvier’s Gazelle is strongly related to ...
We thank the thousands of people and government agencies who contribute to the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) that is jointly developed by UN Environment and IUCN and managed by UNEP-WCMC in Cambridge, UK. We also acknowledge the efforts of those involved in participatory mapping of ...
