The integration of innovative public policies, interinstitutional collaboration and better scientific understanding of fire dynamics has enabled the effective implementation of the IFM and a more efficient response to megafires in Brazil.

This study provides definitive evidence of wolf presence based on camera trap surveys conducted in Shangri-La National Park, northwestern Yunnan, between 2022 and 2024. This remarkable rediscovery highlights the critical role that well-managed national parks can play in facilitating the recovery of endangered species.

Although Bergman's rule has extensively been studied, its implications in species conservation have not been clear, especially in the context of climate change (global warming). Here, we discuss the potential applications of the “rule” based on IUCN's (2022) Red List and suggest species' body size to be an important ecological indicator in future long-term conservation plannings.

This visualization demonstrates how Nature-Based Education (NBE) supports green and low-carbon development. Key components include nature schools, carbon-neutral campus initiatives, and experiential learning, which enhance carbon literacy and sustainability practices. The study highlights the necessity of curriculum reform and policy support to ensure the integration of NBE into educational systems. By engaging students with immersive learning experiences, NBE fosters future sustainability leaders who contribute actively to sustainable development.

Our study addresses the significant knowledge gap regarding the wintering population and habitat utilization of the Yellow-breasted Bunting (Emberiza aureola) in Nepal, providing crucial insights that can aid in the conservation of this critically endangered species in wintering grounds.

This study provided information on the abundance, population demography and activity pattern of an endangered species of Gekko badenii at the type locality of Ba Den Mountain, southern Vietnam. Local and international use and trade in Gekko badenii for food consumption and as pet were investigated and conservation recommendations highlighted.

This study identified self-efficacy as a crucial outcome of nature education, with the potential for achieving long-term conservation goals. Using a mixed-methods design, we evaluated the effect of a wildlife course implemented in ten rural elementary schools in China, which significantly increased students' self-efficacy, and also contributed to pro-nature levels.

We assessed the distribution of 14 threatened agamid lizard species using Species Distribution Modeling to identify hotspots for these species' conservation. Based on the results, high-priority areas of threatened agamids were projected to occur specially in the wet zone. But, some high-priority habitats remain unprotected, where conservation interventions are recommended.

Zoo visits significantly influence wildlife preferences, enhancing fondness for a wider range of species and fostering affinity for less popular taxa. The interplay between enclosure and interpretive characteristics proved crucial in driving these changes, highlighting ways to optimize zoo conservation education.

The study investigated how stakeholder groups involved in wildlife management constructed images of each other. Stakeholder groups socially constructed each other as: powerful outsiders; ignorant and inconsiderate; habitat destroyers and poachers; and uncaring, greedy and selfish. The social constructions reflected the diverse stakeholders' underlying agendas, beliefs, priorities and values regarding wildlife management, as well as competing land uses and socioeconomic interests.

After the great Chinese poet Qu Yuan (屈原) was exiled to Xupu (溆浦) county in Hu' nan province, he described the forest there as follows: “mysterious is the deep forest, the place where Yuán yòu dwell (深林杳以冥冥兮,乃猿狖之所居).” What is the referent of the name Yuán yòu in this sentence? This study reveals that in ancient China, the original referent of the name Yuán yòu was the endangered François' langurs (Trachypithecus francoisi). As evidenced by this study, this species widely appeared in South China in historical periods.

Our research demonstrates that in mirroring prevailing human biases towards different insect groups, LLM chatbots oversimplify insect diversity by predominantly restricting “bees” to honeybees and “wasps” to yellowjackets, neglecting the majority of biodiversity that includes wild bees and parasitoid wasps, while also favouring Nearctic species in suggesting conservation prioritization.
