AbstractIndonesia is home to a high number of Critically Endangered land vertebrates. Examining the research on these species is important to improve biodiversity-related policy and management and to provide insight into knowledge gaps. We conducted a comprehensive review of 2,188 publications published during 2000–2021 that studied the Critically Endangered vertebrate species of Indonesia, to understand…
AbstractOver 47,000 species on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature are assessed as being at risk of extinction, including more than 10,000 Critically Endangered (CR) species. In this Review, we focus on the status, geographical and taxonomic patterns, and threats to CR species, and the actions needed for their conservation…
AbstractMedium-large herbivores are crucial indicators of ecosystem health, representing biodiversity, trophic dynamics, and habitat integrity. The Sumatran serow (Capricornis sumatraensis sumatraensis), a threatened subspecies endemic to Sumatra, is increasingly impacted by anthropogenic activities, poaching, and climate change. This study applied five species distribution models (SDMs)—maximum entropy, random forest, support vector machine, boosted regression trees, and…
AbstractThe unsustainable use of wildlife increases the risk of species extinction. In biodiversity-rich Indonesia, information on the scale of wildlife use is limited and requires further study. To address this, we explored the potential of text messaging (short message service; SMS) surveys to investigate levels and spatial patterns of domestic wildlife use, using songbird keeping…
Global South leadership is key to achieving post 2020 conservation targets.
