View Resource An African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in a savannah ecosystem within Kruger National Park, South Africa.

African elephants (Loxodonta Africana) have an important impact on that ecosystem type, influencing its structure, function, and composition. In Kruger National Park, South Africa, park scientists, academics, and managers work synergistically within a strategic adaptive management framework to understand and manage elephant populations as an integral component of ecosystem structure, function, and...

View Resource A southern torrent salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus) in conifer forest habitat in the Pacific Northwest.

The southern torrent salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus) inhabits small, cool, headwater streams and seeps in conifer-dominated forests, primarily in the Coast Ranges of Oregon and northern California. Research in the Oregon Coast Range suggests that maintaining forested habitat >46 m around these streams is important if the protection of habitat for this and other headwater-associated amphibians...

View Resource A mosaic of fields and forests in the Willamette Basin, Oregon, USA.

Different land uses have created a varied landscape in the Willamette Basin of Oregon that supports a rich array of species as well as an array of economic activities. Researchers have recently developed a spatially explicit model for analyzing the consequences of alternative land-use patterns on various species and market-oriented economic returns. They found that, with careful land-use planning,...

View Resource A Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus), a threatened species.

The Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) is a threatened species. Many conservation programs aim to increase population size by improving survival and reproduction; however, density dependence may confound this approach. A recent study evaluated the consequences of population growth on reproductive performance of Bearded Vultures in the Spanish Pyrenees, and its results suggest that the use of...

View Resource Evaluating a Multi-Component Assessment Framework for Biodiversity Education

The Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners (NCEP) is a global initiative that seeks to create opportunities for the broad exchange of educational and training information and strategies among conservation educators and practitioners. The lack of access to such resources is a significant obstacle to building capacity in biodiversity conservation. To expand teaching resources and...
