The paper underscores the need for improved conservation efforts in the tropics, using Bangladesh as a case study, by revealing gaps in protected area coverage for species representation and providing spatial prioritization to guide future expansion efforts, ultimately contributing to meeting global biodiversity targets outlined in the Kunming-Montreal Framework.

This paper supports SDG 15 by showing that mangroves contribute substantially to food security and nutrition of coastal communities in Indonesia, and thus the conservation of mangroves is important not only for carbon storage and biodiversity, but also for the communities living near them.

The potential distribution of two important invasive alien plants in South Africa, Prosopis spp and A. mearnsii, was predicted using the MaxEnt model.

The study shows the results of the large-scale spatial survey for the gelada outside its perceived home range, in the northernmost part of Ethiopia.

The study shows the spike glycoproteins of the coronaviruses that are carried by these animals and by humans; they have a number of major structural similarities to one another.

Conservation scientists often aim to modify animal behaviour for management. However, there are ethical/welfare issues associated with this. The authors provide a decision support tool to assess the ethical considerations of modifiy animal behaviour against alternative options

The paper highlights the increasing importance of multiple-use protected areas in achieving global conservation targets, emphasizing their effectiveness in conserving biodiversity and socio-economic benefits, and calling for closing knowledge gaps to ensure their continued contribution to meeting policy goals such as the 2030 target to protect 30% of Earth's surface.
