TAKE ACTION with SCBNA TODAY to write in opposition to the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) implementation guidelines.

If enacted, they will deteriorate vital ecosystem functions that sustain biogeochemical processes and jeopardize the core benefits that people get from nature.

Effects of protected areas on human‐induced shifts in nocturnal activity in mammal communities in southwestern China Human activities have extensive influences on wildlife communities through lethal and sublethal effects. Protected areas (PAs) can reduce lethal impacts of humans on wildlife by reducing direct killi...

Saving critical winter habitat for monarch butterflies may depend on buy-in from their human neighbors The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) population has plummeted by 80% to 95% since the 1990s, depending on the region and monitoring method. A major cause of the species’ decline is deforestation…

Monarch butterflies are declining as their habitat degrades, even in Mexico’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.

A 50-year forest review shows logging bans succeed only when local communities are consulted and compensated — and fail when they’re not involved.

Evolutionary consequences of conservation havens and fenced sanctuaries Conservation (or safe) havens are protected areas where barriers (e.g., fences) separate biodiversity from threatening processes and are being increasingly used to support conservation. Differences b...
