In such situations an awareness of the local perception and value of different species is central to choosing effective flagships. Emphasising this, we propose 10 criteria for the selection of flagship species. We then describe three examples of local flagship species ...
These examples show how flagship species have been used successfully to increase awareness and funding for a variety of different ecosystems, highlighting it as an important paradigm in environmental conservation. In this article, we examine the potential of FSP for protecting mangrove forests – a ...
Knowledge of the population distribution and dynamics of threatened species in the wild is key to effective conservation actions1,2. While this may seem obvious, at present, there are many examples of endangered wildlife for which their current situation is unknown, especially in remote areas of ...
We propose a wider use of extinct flagships to raise awareness for the conservation of threatened species by making a direct link between already extinct species and extant species at risk of extinction. We present examples of publicly recognized and iconic extinct species that could be used in ...
Myriad opportunities for innovation that advance the health of the human species and our planet. In human health, this will mean moving beyond making predictions at the molecular level to modeling and simulating the physiology of cells, tissues and whole organs. Such a...
We found that few studies evaluated whether taxa claimed to be surrogate species were in fact robust proxies. This is particularly so for flagship species but is also common in work on umbrella species. We also found marked differences in how the terms and concepts of umbrella, flagship and ...
Examples are taken primarily from North America. Methodologies examined are indicator, umbrella and flagship species. Problems with these approaches are explored. Species conflicts under specie management are documented before a discussion of ecosystem management is presented. Keystone species management is ...
