The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)'s strategic plan advocates the use of environmental surrogates, such as ecosystems, as a basis for planning where new protected areas should be placed. However, the efficiency and effectiveness of this eco

Common worldwide and encroaching on even the most remote locations, roads negatively affects wildlife through habitat loss, fragmentation and direct mortality. Reducing these effects requires mitigation, including wildlife crossing structures and fen

Balancing the representation of ecosystems and threatened species habitats is critical for optimizing protected area (PA) networks and achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity strategic goals. Here we provide a systematic approach for maximiz

The Arabian Gazelle (Gazella arabica) is vulnerable throughout its range. Israel's population, known locally as the Acacia gazelle (G. acaciae), is critically endangered. The entire 22-individual population inhabits a 3.5 km2 enclosure and, at the ti

Reintroductions may play an important role in re-establishing key ecosystem functions and are potentially a valuable ecosystem-restoration tool. Here, we focus on the role of reintroduced ungulates as seeds dispersers - a key process in shaping plant

Roads have a significant impact on wildlife world-wide. Two of the ways to mitigate the impact of roads are to improve connectivity and reduce mortality through fences and wildlife crossings. However, these are expensive actions that will have differ

Local habitat structure and the environment in which it occurs are some of the key components in the development of fish communities. In this case study we examined a snapshot of their relative role following relocation of four artificial reefs (ARs)

The fundamental role of conservation science is to provide land managers and policy-makers with evidence-based practical guidance. Conservation decisions are usually made with limited information and tight budgets. This dictates the need for efficien

Human habitation in deserts can create rich novel resources that may be used by native desert species. However, at night such resources may lose attractiveness when they are in artificially lit areas. For bats, attraction to such manmade habitats mig
